Saran Wrap (FS 370D) is a 4WD trail located within the Pike National Forest approximately 15 miles southwest of Colorado Springs. The Pike National Forest contains a myriad of trails which provide a broad spectrum of outdoor recreational opportunities. The area is popular among OHV users, mountain bikers, hikers, and equestrians. The trail network includes mild trails suitable for stock vehicles (it is not uncommon to see ordinary passenger sedans and minivans on some trails) in addition to genuine 4WD tracks such as Mount Baldy (FS 379), Eagle Rock (FS 370C), and Saran Wrap (FS 370D) that traverse higher elevations and contain noteworthy obstacles. Accessibility and panoramic mountain views are the greatest attractions to this area.

Trail Difficulty and Assessment

Trail Navigation

Saran Wrap is a short, obstacle-filled loop connecting Gold Camp Road (FS 370) and Eagle Rock (FS 370C). It can be traversed in either direction—east to west, or west to east. Both trailheads are marked with signs indicating FS 370D. The eastern trailhead is easily identifiable in the first meadow segment of Eagle Rock (FS 370C). The western trailhead is located on a wide, sweeping curve of Gold Camp Road. Saran Wrap is a serious four-wheel drive trail. It contains numerous rock and rut obstacles and their difficulty is compounded by camber or steep grade. The westerly segment has several narrow spots between trees and boulders with potential to scrape rockers or snag a roof rack. Stock 4x4 vehicles beware, as armor, high clearance, and flexible suspension is strongly recommended on this four-wheel drive trail.

Super fun short trail. The V-notch is super deep and rutted out. I think it is slightly more difficult than current trail rating. Probably closer to a 6 and leaning 7 in a couple of the harder lines.

Minus the one V-Notch, there really is not much to this trail. If you miss the turn to the left right after the V-Notch you've gone too far and will be on the spur. Now... the spur, that is def a tougher portion. We went about 3/4 of the way up the spur before turning around. If you do the V-Notch and then start more difficult trail, you've gone too far. The turn is immediately after you come out of the notch.

Had an absolute blast on Saran Wrap. Lots of uneven small v notches to test out your vehicles articulation. We ran the entire trail in just over an hour or so. Good Warm up before tackling Eagle Rock which shares the same trailhead. The trail is mainly loose gravel/dirt.

Made it through (barely) in a Stock Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. Rock rails and underbody armer had lots of contact on rocks. Be sure to stay on the trail as there is a sharp turn halfway though, if missed, puts you on a much more difficult dead end trail.

This trail, if not taking bypasses, is currently a 7 or 8. Even some of the other washout are preet extreme. The v notch is a truck eater tho. FJ cruiser. 35's/lifted with rear locker
