Trail Overview

This short trail goes into a thick forested corridor as it departs from trail 16EV407. The trail is covered in a lot of bony and sharp loose rocks, climbing up a dry and sun-exposed hillside, over all the loose rock, making it hard to maintain traction and not get pinged around. It goes through a really tight section of bushes and curves around several downed logs. It's somewhat faint in the trees, and there's a right turn that's easy to miss, where riders have piled up some logs to prevent you from going the wrong way. There are several cow trails in the area, so it can get confusing. It crosses a couple of dry rocky ravines, climbs up another loose rocky hillside, then curves through the trees a bit more before coming to an intersection with 16EV259. This is a quick trail to add for extra mileage when starting or ending your ride from the Deer Creek Staging Area. 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.
