Sagehen Spur 626W

Sagehen Spur 626W is a short out-and-back spur off of 626 that ends at a dispersed campsite. This trail is within Idaho's hunting unit 32A, where you will be sharing your space with deer, elk, black bears, mountain lions, and wolves, to name a few. This trail is one of many spurs along the main Sagehen Road and is best described as a dispersed camping paradise nestled among the pines, fir, and spruce. Shrubs and grasses dotted with wildflowers fill in the non-forested areas. It is a typical pine forest dirt trail that can get a bit muddy and slippery during rain or snowy weather, but the trail is relatively flat and should be manageable by most high clearance vehicles.

Sagehen Dam and Reservoir is just 2.7 miles to the east. The reservoir has four improved campgrounds; some are first come, first served, and others require a reservation. The lake is well known for its rainbow trout, so bring your fishing pole.
