Description

This is a mountain road which traverses the high terrain between Tres Piedras and Tierra Amarillo. It begins at Hopewell Lake and winds through mixed conifer forests and open valley meadows for several miles until it ends at the junction with Forest Road 42.

Most of the road is accessible for high clearance 4x4 vehicles and is an important route to access the many side trails and forest roads in the region. It can get pretty fast in places so watch for oncoming traffic around some of the turns.
