Free Use Canyon is an out-and-back trail dead ending at a small turnaround due to a locked gate. The trail is pretty narrow and overgrown. However, due to its semi-shaded nature, it allows drivers to view the incredible wildflowers that paint this forest in the spring and summer. Camping is also an option right after the trailhead among the towering pines. This is a popular area for hunters in the fall, so the campsites are large, flat, and well-established.
