Sawtooth Forest - Cassia Division - Trail 241 - Trail Canyon  

This trail is not far from Porcupine Campground.  It connects 239 (Pike Mountain) to 163 (Little Fork).  This trail has one slightly tricky spot for new riders if you are going North to South, and the pictures were taken a few weeks after a really bad rain storm.  You will see some washed out areas because of the storm

Pictures taken on September 21, 2013

This table shows what the trail looks like if you rode from the North to the South.

Water crossing and this switchback can be tricky if going downhill, but pretty easy if going uphill.  The storm washed it out just a bit.
