Starting just west of Sycamore Campground on Turkey Creek Road, this trail heads up forested Pole Bridge Canyon to connect with the Turtle Mountain Trail #219 and the Morse Canyon Trail #43, near 8850 foot Johnson Peak. An 8-mile loop is possible using the Pole Bridge Trail, Morse Canyon Trail, and about a mile and a half of Forest Road 41 (Turkey Creek Road).
