Trail Overview

The southern end of this trail is marked with a trail sign at the entrance, but it immediately goes through a forested area that has been logged, so the hillside is mostly full of mulch and debris, which makes the trail difficult to follow. The hillside is extremely loose, silty, and hard to maintain traction on. The trail essentially cuts across the hillside until it meets up with a wide section of silty dirt road where the trail used to be. Then it goes through a section with loose rock on a dry grassy hillside with jagged embedded rock surfaces. Eventually, it goes into the forest again on a narrow singletrack that curves tightly through the vegetation with a couple of log crossings. It descends through the forest with tight curves, roots, and loose rock. Once you are out of the logged area, the trail is much easier to follow and is well defined. It sidehills along a hillside until the intersection with 16EV302, which is where it also bails out to the FS Road 3N35. This trail is seasonally closed 12/16 - 4/14 to motorized use.

Difficulty

The western half of this trail is difficult to find and is extremely loose because it has been mowed down by forestry work, causing the trail to go through hillsides of mulch and silt. The eastern half is more defined and forested, with a couple of log crossings.

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.
