Upper Bench #625
The Upper Bench Trail #625 is used as a connecting route between the Johnson Basin Road, FSR #425 and the Calcord Road, FSR #411.1A. Since this trail contours a hillside at a fairly level grade for the entire distance, it is a relatively easy trail to hike. It passes through primarily oak brush and aspen stands and a few intermittent spruce/fir stands.
