If great views are your thing, be sure to check out Forest Boundary. Spurring off Left Fork Rhodes Canyon, this moderately rated packed-dirt road provides quite an impressive view of the narrow valley below. Although not overly challenging, the start of the trail runs through a firewood-cutting area, where trees are often downed and lying across the path. Once you reach the forest's edge, the exposed dirt trail is subject to washouts and ruts from severe weather. If you do not angle correctly, large undulations may require a decent amount of flex, 4WD, or lockers. Lastly, the trail becomes a 50" and narrower trail without warning or any place to turn around. The best place to turn around is the main viewpoint.
Camping beyond the trailhead is limited to the first viewpoint, where you are somewhat exposed to the elements. Better options lie off Left Fork Rhodes Canyon, which you will likely see before beginning this trail. All of these camping opportunities are dispersed with no amenities.
