Forest Service Road 4S121

Trail Overview

This trail climbs 170 feet and drops 260 feet over just 2.3 miles, winding through a juniper pine forest dotted with brush and striking rock formations. The track offers a scenic, meandering drive through rolling hills with expansive views of the Eastern Sierras, the White Mountains, and dramatic rock features in every direction. The surface is mostly sandy with embedded rocks, though you'll encounter short stretches of gravel, washboards, and rocky patches. The trail alternates between single-lane and two-lane widths, making passing easier in spots. Highlights include glimpses of Rock Creek and Mount Tom, as well as broad vistas as the northern section runs parallel to Highway 395. Despite being a popular route, the scenery makes it worth the traffic.
