Sawtooth Forest - Cassia Division - Trail 915b - Porcupine East  

This little trail is just off of Porcupine Campground.  On the forest service map 915 is one long trail, but it intersects trail 921 (Old 176) and where it does there is a section of 915 that does not exist because it would overlap trail 921 for about 300 feet.  Because of this, divided the trail into two sections.  915a is the portion to the West of trail 921 and 915b is the portion to the East of trail 921.  Click on a picture to enlarge it.

Here is the view of this trail from the North end where it starts off 920 (Telephone Canyon) heading South to where it connects to 921 (Old 176).  First, lets make note that if you like your kidneys you might want to stay off this trail.  If you don't mind your kidneys getting rattled to death, go on this trail  Be careful though, the rocks are sharp and sliced open the sidewall of one of my tires and the only way to fix it was for the tire shop to put a tube in it.
