Before the South Boundary Trail #164 was built and named, this road was part of the old #164 route. Some old maps still show it as Forest Service Road #164 but that name has become obsolete. It is now known by its current name as it ascends through the forested Buena Suerte Canyon then alongside some small meadows as it leads to the junction of the SBT and Forest Service Road #445 where those trails join together. There are a lot of old side trails that lead into drainages alongside the main canyon, follow the more obvious road and check your map or MTB Project mobile app if you aren't certain you're on the proper route.

Overall, this is a fairly easy climb. There are some rough sections where this unmaintained road has sustained erosion damage from runoff and ATV use. A steeper section near the middle may require a dismount but most of the route is rideable.

This is a good route to utilize if you're bikepacking and want to ride a section of the SBT instead of riding up Forest Road 437 all the way to Garcia Park.
