Trail Overview

This is a short trail (less than half a mile long) that makes a short loop with 16EV178 and 16EV177. It's a steady incline from south to north, on a narrow winding trail through the pines. There are small roots and sticks and a bit of loose rock, but no rock ledges. This one is slightly more difficult than 16EV177 and 16EV178 due to a few steeper and rockier sections. It goes through some dryer and more sun-exposed hillsides with sharp loose rocks that add to the difficulty. There was also a big log down that riders will have to cross that makes it more difficult, and riders should always be aware of new log hazards. 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.
