Basket Pass - FS 26S05

Trail Overview

Basket Pass (FS 26S05) departs from Rancheria Road South and runs along a shelf road through pine forest within Sequoia National Forest, with beautiful views opening up over the valley below toward the Bakersfield area. Occasional large boulders punctuate the pine-lined corridor. The trail crosses Poso Creek at an elevation of 5,600 feet, a pleasant waypoint along the route. Cattle graze the area seasonally, so watch for livestock on the trail.
