DESCRIPTION:

At the bottom T207 follows an old road, likely used for access to Horse Spring.  Beyond Horse Spring, the trail is likely to be indistinct atnd to require rock climbing skills.

There is an alternate to T207, a 1.7 mile long connector shown in green on the map.  It is well-signed and leads up to a ridge with open views of the surrounding terrain.

Down load GPS track for  Connector as .gpx.

ACCESS:

 The lower end of T207 is accessed from T208.  Access to T208 is described in its write up.  Hike 1.1 miles along T208 to the junction with T207 on the right.  The upper end of T207 is a junction with FR201, which is considered impassable for most high clearance 4WD vehicles. 

To access the connector described above, hike 0.7 miles along T208 from its western trailhead to gate in a barbed wire fence.  Pass through the gate and close it.  There is no sign but the path is marked with hiker signs and cairns.

FR527 requires a 4WD high clearance vehicle.  It crosses the stream bed several times.  In one section, the road bed has eroded into a Vee, and the sides of the Vee will be slick when the soil is damp.  Do not attempt to drive FR527 unless it is dry.
