Beasore Kate - FS 22E363

Trail Overview

This 0.9-mile connector is a scenic and engaging two-track that feels like driving through a giant's rock garden. The trail serves as a vital link between Lower Beasore (FS 5S093) and Minarets #63 (FS 5S020Y), weaving intricately through a landscape defined by towering pines and massive, house-sized granite boulders. The route is a sandy dirt track that twists and turns to avoid these monoliths, creating a fun, flowy rhythm. The drive features several short, punchy climbs and tight squeezes that keep the driver engaged, making it much more than just a transit road. It's a perfect short detour to appreciate the scale of the Sierra's granite geology up close.

Difficulty

The rating is justified by the tight, twisty nature of the route as it navigates between large, unforgiving granite boulders. Drivers must execute precise maneuvering to avoid body damage on the rocks and trees lining the narrow track. Additionally, the trail features short, loose dirt climbs (visible in photos) where 4WD is recommended to maintain traction and momentum. High clearance is advised to handle the uneven terrain and occasional erosion without dragging the undercarriage.
