Trail Overview
This scenic descent drops almost 700 feet over just under 6 miles, offering spectacular views and diverse terrain. Starting from the south in a sparse pine forest, the route quickly opens to a huge meadow surrounded by beautiful hills, valleys, and mountains. The trail provides stunning views of the Eastern Sierras, Mono Lake, and Crater Mountain, with meadows featuring beautiful wildflowers throughout the journey.
Difficulty
This trail earns a low difficulty rating despite its challenging surface conditions. The trail features very sandy terrain that is deep in some spots, requiring 4x4 capability and good tires. Heavy SXS use has created whoops, ruts, and washboards throughout, making for a very bumpy ride. Airing down is highly recommended for better traction and comfort in the sandy conditions.
