This is a point-to-point route connecting Highway 97 and Paulina Lake Road. Driving is much more challenging than most of the surrounding roads and trails.

It starts like most of the forest service roads in the area. After about 10 miles, though, it starts to climb and traverse several buttes and mountains. You will experience narrow and off-camber sections, 12" ledges, lots of rocky and rutted tracks, and a lot of great wheeling that will give a beginning wheeler a good experience. Experienced drivers will find the route easier.

Several areas along the route allow dispersed camping. The road it connects to, FS21, also leads to numerous improved camping areas by Paulina and East Lake.
