Jungo Road, Blue Mt

Last Known Status

Open

This secluded area offers scattered primitive camping opportunities along with miles of easy 4x4 roads and a few hidden sections of single-track trails. Some of the trails have not been explored in some time, and there are sections of washout and vegetation overgrowth. Come prepared, the access road is long and there is no shade or services.
