Trail Overview

This sandy and pumice trail is just over one and a half vehicles wide and winds through a beautiful pine forest. Starting at Highway 395 near an open meadow, it slowly climbs almost 800 feet and passes near lower Deadman Campground, upper Deadman Campground, and a group campground (some of which closed). Check with your local ranger office for updates. The last two miles enter a more covered forest area with softer pumice and sand and fewer rocks. There are some short shelf road sections near the beginning and end, so caution is advised. The trail lies north of Deadman Dome, south of White Wing Dome, and south and east of Chicken Wing Dome. Many spur trails branch off here, offering plenty of opportunities to explore the scenic Deadman Flats and Crestview Plantation areas. This is a 12-mile "in and out" trail with various side trails if you want to explore more.
