Trail Overview

This route is 1 to 1.5 vehicle widths wide, winding through pine tree forest alongside the obsidian dome. The very dusty trail made of sand and pumice runs partially along shelf roads above Glass Creek, requiring caution in these elevated sections. Various dispersed camp areas are available along the trail for those who pack out what they pack in. Near the south entrance, there are glimpses of the Eastern Sierras, including Mount Morrison, Mini Morrison, Sherwin Mountain, and Bloody Mountain. The Hartley Loop passes through this trail, and there's another shelf road near the south entrance, high above Highway 395.

Difficulty

This trail earns a moderate-easy difficulty rating with its challenging terrain features. There's one very steep section requiring 4x4, with 4-low being helpful. The trail has lots of roots throughout and many whoops, creating a very bouncy ride even for vehicles with good suspension. Some deep sand sections add to the difficulty, and there are multiple shelf roads above Glass Creek that require extra caution. Also, use caution near the Dome parking due to hikers.

Trail is getting more deteriorated. Heavy use. Still a pretty drive that accesses many good places to hike and camp.
