Trail Overview

This trail departs from the end of 16EV109 and continues north through the forest on a narrow singletrack, tightly curving through the scrub oak and pine trees. It hugs the hillside as it follows the curvature of the mountain, with a lot of previously cut logs, and a few small downed logs that you have to skirt around. It has some more shaded sections in the forest lined with evergreen shrubs, but also goes through a dry and grassy sun-exposed hillside. This trail leaves the national forest boundary and enters private property on the north end, reconnecting with a road (that continues from FS 3N35) on the private property. The road on private property turns into more of a rocky trail, but there are signs indicating a right to pass, and it does connect to FS 3N05, so you can connect this part of the trail system to the trails closer to Crandall Peak. 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.
