Description: | |||||||||||||||
Bow Ridge is a short road between the Parks Ranger District and the Canyon Lakes Ranger District of the US Forest Service. From the east side the road starts where Pinkham Creek, FR157, ends, at a fence line on top of the ridge.
The road is a single lane road that is a bit rough in spots.
It quickly drops down the ridge and connects in with the Upper Pinkham Creek, FR880, road. |
