Trail Overview
This is a short dirt bike only trail that connects the ATV trail 16EV223 with the singletrack 16EV407, near the Deer Creek Staging Area. Taking this trail cuts off having to go back to Italian Bar Road and reenter the trail system. It's a pretty gradual grade throughout the quarter mile, as it climbs up a mild hill sparsely lined with manzanitas and pine trees. There's lots of downed logs that have been cut, and the trail weaves between all those downed logs. It's very smooth, but there is one loose rocky section right at the intersection with 16EV407. The trail is unmarked and easy to miss from the east entrance, but well-marked from the west entrance. This trail is seasonally closed 12/16 - 4/14 to motorized use.
