Petites Gap Road Dispersed — Jefferson NF

Description

Deep in the forested hills of Jefferson National Forest's Glenwood Ranger District, this wooded pull-off along Petites Gap Road (SR 781) sits steps from a creek and backs directly onto the Glenwood Horse Trail. An established fire ring marks the site, and the snug tree-lined entry favors smaller rigs, though a larger van or compact Class C can squeeze in with care. A short walk along the trail and road leads to Arnold Valley Pool, a local swimming hole worth the early-morning effort to beat the crowds.
