171.L is a short spur off of Swamp Creek Road that offers a bit more challenge in comparison to the adjacent trails in the area. It partially follows the powerlines as it takes you downward toward the Cache La Poudre Valley, offering excellent views of the valley and the surrounding Comanche Peak Wilderness as you descend. There are several nice campsites suitable for a capable rig with great views and a few rock obstacles. Beware, the turnaround at the end of this trail is very tight, loose, and rocky - beginner drivers should consider turning around at the much safer location about 200 feet from the very end.
