Land OwnerPattee Canyon Recreation Area
Sharp left turn off of Forest Rd 449. The trail is overgrown, but an easy pedal with very pleasant views west and south. Don't be surprised to find tumbleweed grappling at your drivetrain.
Access Info
Head up the University Mt forest road (449) for just over 1.5 miles and at ~4800' the trail will be a hard left turn at a clearing on a bend.
