Trail Overview
This rugged backcountry drive climbs high to the ridgeline of the Sierra Pelona. After traversing the ridge for several scenic miles, it switchbacks down the northern side of the mountain, offering outstanding views of Bouquet Reservoir. Most of the route is inside Rowher Flat OHV Area, open to greensticker vehicles. If you're looking for a difficult route, follow Rowher Trail shown on the map. Sierra Pelona Road crosses Rowher Trail several times on the north side.
