Trail Overview

This is a 1.4 mile long single track through the Stanislaus National Forest that goes through a mix of shaded forest and sun-exposed hillsides. It's a narrow trail that weaves tightly through the tall pine trees, and has a bit of loose rock in the dryer sections that are more sun-exposed and grassy. It goes up and down with a few steep spots, but is mostly a manageable grade. Expect a few ruts, loose logs and sticks and roots. The tight trees are the hardest part of this trail, with spiky low branches sticking out. However, the access to this trail was a bit more challenging, as you had to go down a steep loose rocky hill to get to the west end, and one of the forest roads to access it was also blocked by downed logs. This trail is seasonally closed 12/16 - 4/14 to motorized use.

Difficulty

This is an easy trail overall as it just winds very tightly through the trees. Watch for low-hanging branches. There aren't any major obstacles though.

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.
