Trail Overview
The Buck Rock Jeep Trail is a historical route dating back 100 years and is one of the only real 4x4 trails in the Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Park area that you can actually wheel. "Wheel" is to say that low range needs to be engaged. Located right in between the parks lies a National Forest area where you can primitive camp and hit dirt roads. Four miles in length, this route shares its name with the famous Buck Rock fire lookout tower. Starting at 8,340 feet, this trail has fantastic vistas and camping along the way and a couple of obstacles that require 35-inch tires and at least a rear locker. The terrain includes hard-pack and mixed granite with drop-offs and deep ruts. Major obstacles have bypasses.
