This road is always in good shape for a dirt road. There are logging operations along the Tepee/ Skyline Hiking Trail. The crews were off today, so we could not find out if there would be any closures to the hiking trails while they operated- FYI, if you are one of the many that frequent these trails for hiking opportunities. The green grass and wildflowers are beautiful this year.

There has been a lot of logging activity in the last year. Smoke season started a month earlier than usual, not much in the way of distant views lately. It was still a pretty drive, and walking along the creek at the end of the trail is always nice.

Lush green grass and colorful wildflowers, today was a beautiful day on this trail. It had rained briefly earlier today, which eliminated all the dust, and not enough to make anything muddy.

What a great easy to access, easy to drive trail through in the woods with a couple of beautiful creeks to walk around and enjoy! I've been driving past this trail for 15 years, I can't believe I didn't check this one out sooner.
