Trail Overview
This 3.1-mile road is a dead-end spur. The trail is a clear one-lane track with a smooth, packed dirt and decomposed granite (DG) surface, allowing for quick speeds, confirmed by the efficient travel time. While this area was impacted by the 2020 Creek Wildfire, it avoided the highest severity, leaving behind a crucial patchwork of healthy canopy and reduced snag hazard compared to neighboring routes. The trail is mostly smooth, but travelers should be aware of occasional ruts and embedded rock. The route has a gentle, rolling terrain. It reaches ~8,500 feet in elevation, so Summer and Fall are the best times to visit.
