Guard Station Trail (4W324)

Distance: 3.87 miles
Approx. Running time: 1 to 1.5 hours
Difficulty: Most Difficult

The Guard Station Trail runs from FS9700-115 up to Teanaway ridge. As is typical for the trails on the west side of Hwy 97 it has a good mix of steep rocky hill climbs, some off-camber, lots of tree roots and some tight spots that may provide you a little trail rash if you aren't well armored.  This is not a trail for someone new to a Jeep.  With moisture this trail will require the use of a winch and good driving skills.

Getting There:

Traveling north on Hwy 97, just past the turn off for the town of Liberty, turn left onto FS9700 (may also be marked as FS 115 or FS9700-115)  There is a building here on the left called the "Liberty work center".  Follow FS9700 for about .1 (one tenth of a mile) at watch for the trail on the left.  The trail starts out by dipping onto a small gully through some bush and is lined with old tank treads to keep the trail from becoming muddy.
