Trail Overview

This trail climbs up from 16EV54 and connects north to FS 3N63. As of September 2025, there were tons of large logs down that hadn't been cleared, which will have to be ridden over or cut. Some are skinnier logs elevated above the trail, making it even more difficult to jump or lift over. Some will make the trail impassable for average riders. In its current state, it should only be ridden by experienced riders looking for a log crossing challenge. It climbs up through the forest on a narrow path between the thick scrub oak lining the trail, following a steep grade for most of the route. Near the top of the hill, it gets drier and sun-exposed, with loose, sharp rocks and overgrown grass that makes the trail fainter. It has a lot of tight curves near the top, and a couple of bigger embedded rock faces, before ending on the road. This would be a useful connector to get to the trails north of 16EV54 if it becomes more rideable and cleared of the many logs.

Difficulty

This is an upper intermediate difficulty due to the many logs that will be very difficult to pass. The trail without the logs would be more of a 4 difficulty, with just the steep grade to consider.

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.
