8s098h - Snow Drift Spur

Trail Overview

This is the perfect high-reward, low-effort trail for reaching a prime campsite. This extremely short 0.35-mile spur quickly climbs off the main ridge track (8S098) and dead-ends at a stunning viewpoint overlooking Huntington Lake and the valley below. The road is a narrow two-track, characterized by packed dirt and minor whoops that justify a slow approach. This route is in the 2020 Creek Wildfire burn scar (evident in the hazardous snags), meaning the excellent views come with exposure and a significant deadfall risk. It's a quick 6-minute drive straight to paradise, provided you manage the hazards.

Difficulty

Rated 2 (High Clearance Comfort): This trail requires high clearance but no 4WD engagement. The difficulty is derived from the minor whoops and dips in the road that demand high clearance to prevent bottoming out. While a stock SUV could crawl through, high-clearance vehicles can transit comfortably and quickly, justifying the R2 rating.
