Last Known StatusClosed

Once a popular 4x4 trail, this area is permanently closed to motorized use due to past forest fires. The challenging jeep trail eventually lead to a historical military fort that dated back to 1863. Several sections were very steep and rocky with several sharp drop-offs. Primitive camping was permitted at the staging area.
