This trail is open to hiker, motorcycle, horse and bicycle use.

The trail connects with Hamilton Buttes Trail #118, Blue Lake Butte Trail #119 and Bishop Ridge Trail #272, providing several loop opportunities. The upper section of Yozoo Trail offers outstanding views and subalpine settings.

The trail begins at the base of Forest Road 7807 and parallels Forest Road 78 through old timber harvest units north across Timonium Creek before turning west. The trail crosses Forest Road 78 again near Robber Creek and then climbs steadily into the Grouse and Yozoo Creek basins before ending at Bishop Ridge Trail #272.

 Yozoo is riding as good as it gets! There is a good amount of moisture still in the tread after a much needed rain earlier in the week.

 Trail is running great. If you come in via 119 Blue Lake Buttle to 271A (the normal way) and drop down to Blue Lake for swim, heads up that...

 Descended from #272 to NF-78. Trail was clear but very dry.

      Fun trail, but a lot of work to get there for a fairly short descent. I'd call this one over-rated.

      What an amazing trail! You have to work to get there but it is worth it. All the best parts of a Moro trail mixed with the fee of high alpine mountain biking. Just awesome.

      This is a fantastic trail from West to East - Beautiful subalpine flowy descent into chunky loose tech into classic Gifford Pinchot flowy, rooty, bermy moto descent.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
