Hero: Fruity Pebbles Bypass
small-sr Icon

Located off Bogus Jim Branch 1B, the Fruity Pebbles Bypass allows users to bypass the Fruity Pebbles rock crawling trail, ending at Forestry Road 6340 near the exit of Fruity Pebbles. Users can expect loose and embedded schoolbook-sized rocks and up to a 14-degree climb to the top.

About halfway up the hill, where FS 201.1E transitions into FS6319, you can expect a washed-out rut to test your flex, followed by a tight switchback ending with a 10-12" ledge.

Camping is sparse on the Fruity Pebbles Bypass, with a pull-off about a quarter of the way from the north end of the trail and a clearing at the top of the climb, about a quarter of the way from the south end. Both would provide room for a few vehicles to park and set up vehicle-based camping if needed.
