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.
