Fire orders

All 0.9 miles in are maintained only for high-clearance vehicles, dirt the whole way. Climbs 30 ft over 0.9 miles, with sustained grades near 20% and pitches to 23%. Stretches run along a shelf with a drop of up to ~170 ft on the downhill side. Few of the stretches measured have level ground to pull onto. Dead-end road with no mapped turnaround, so expect to back out or unhitch.

Lowry Top rises 8.7 miles south.
