Description

This road is mostly useful as a connector between Winiger Ridge Trail and 68J if linking those trail with Walker Ranch. Otherwise, the road continues past Winiger Ridge Trail and descends to Gross Reservoir Campground. There is a parking lot at the Forsythe Canyon Trailhead just south of the intersection of FS 359 /68/ 68J which is a good place to start a ride in this area.

Means to an end. Little rough but more like a FS road than it's neighboring heel trail.
