This route is known as Forest Highway 7, but most signs and locals refer to it as FH7. Hwy 162 and Mendocino Pass Road are other commonly used names for FH7. This is the main East - West thoroughfare through the Mendocino National Forest and is the perfect gateway to the northern section of MNF. Tons of dispersed camping and views of the coast mountains along FH7. This route can be taken by 4x4s as well as your common car, but wouldn't recommend lowered vehicles. Should be fine so long you don't mind a little dust on your car.
