Sawtooth Forest - Cassia Division - Trail 163 - Little Fork  

This is a pretty popular trail and isn't far from Porcupine Campground.  I have broken this into 2 sections.  The first section ties in on 239 - Pike Mountain.  It follows the trail to where it forks and either continues on the trail or you go to the Porcupine day use area.  The second set of pictures starts at the Porcupine day use area and continues to the far East end of the trail.

When you see this sign turn right immediately after you pass this tree or you will miss the turnoff to 004

Just past the tree.  If you keep gong

Looking right down the turnoff down the trail to 004

If parked in the creek and you turn around, the left fork is where you just came from.  Right fork continues down 163 for another 1/3 mile but I forgot that this branch was also 163.  I'll take pictures of this another trip.
