About Scales Corral Trailhead

This trailhead is located on Haystack Drive, northeast from [Cyrus Horse Camp](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/ochoco/recreation/horseriding-camping/recarea/?recid=39134&actid=30). It is an access point for [Cole Loop Trail ( 854)](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/ochoco/recreation/horseriding-camping/recarea/?recid=80953&actid=104). The corrals are obvious, however they may not be as stable as they appear, if you choose to use them you are doing so at your own risk.
