Trail Overview

This diverse route drops 338 feet over just over 3 miles, transitioning through multiple terrain types and ecosystems. Starting in an open meadow lined with lots of hardy low bushes, the trail steps into a sparse tall pine forest after about a mile. The route features sand and pumice surfaces throughout, with some dispersed campsites available for those who pack out what they bring in. One spur trail, FS1S20, branches off for additional exploration. The first quarter mile of this southern track runs along a canyon with very rocky terrain, so keep an eye out for obsidian rock formations.
