TURKEY PEN TRAIL
NATIONAL FOREST TRAIL
This trail is a favorite of many a trail rider who has been
here to enjoy the mountain views. You can spend about three
hours on this trail which is mostly flat and very little rock to
contend with. You will have a good view of the mountain range.
There are some open meadows that riders enjoy sitting in while
their mounts graze. To spice up this ride if you choose to do so,
at the far south end of the Turkey Pen area is a trail that winds to
the top of Jaw Bone Gap (elevation 2530 ft). At the present time the
Jaw Bone Gap trail does not go down the other side of the mountain,
so the only way down is the same trail that you went up on. The
views from this trail looking north down the mountain range are great.
