Trail Overview

The north end of this 1.9-mile-long trail starts out climbing up from the Forest Service road, up a steeper slope with loose rock, narrowing up between lots of scrub oak and manzanitas. There are several downed logs sticking into the trail that you have to skirt around. It curves gently through the trees, but on a semi-steep grade, side-hilling up the mountainside on a shelfy path with very mild exposure, lined with tall pines and oaks. There's a long, steep hill climb that has been reinforced to prevent erosion. It pops out of the trees onto a sun-exposed hillside with sharp, volcanic-like loose rock and jagged embedded rock slabs. It goes past a few scenic rock walls as well, before ending on FS 3N35 near the intersection with the 16EV236 singletrack. This trail is seasonally closed 12/16 - 4/14 to motorized use.

Access Description

This trail system in the Stanislaus National Forest can be accessed from either the Deer Creek Staging Area on the west side of the trail system or from Crandall Campground on the east side of the trail system. The Deer Creek Staging Area is a primitive dirt lot with space for several vehicles and small trailers, accessed via Italian Bar Road. The Crandall OHV Parking and Camping Area has several primitive camp spots with picnic tables. All of the trails are open from April 15 to December 15, but it gets really hot and dry in the summer here, so the best times to visit are spring and fall.
