Summary: Trail is a wagon wheel restricted access road that provides a link between TR206 and TR200 as well as northern access to TR204. The hike itself is uneventful with limited water available even in periods of heavy rain. There are some pretty stretches but this hike is mostly useful for getting from on place to the next. On bunyanhill you begin to see more of the effects of the pine beetles with as much as 40 percent of the trees down but this did not effect hiking times much. Hate to do it on horseback though. NOTE: This trail permits horses and horse drawn wagons so if you bring a dog make sure it is restrained.
Trailhead: Trail head is clearly marked at the end of county road 3. County road three becomes restricted access FS208. There is a hiker information board located at the trail head and adequate parking. The trailhead is straight ahead from the parking area and to the left of the forest service info sign. There is also a vehicle barrier across the trail. (Lat:34.34102 Lon:-87.4706)
