FS 3S142

This 2.3-mile route begins in an open brush-lined meadow before climbing into a sparse pine forest. The trail is narrow at one vehicle wide, with a surface of sand and pumice. Along the way, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the Eastern Sierra, the Glass Mountains, Mono Lake, and the White Mountains. Wildlife is abundant, with coyotes, bobcats, eagles, hawks, rabbits, and chipmunks often spotted in the area. The northern downhill stretch features deeper ruts under 12 inches, a few big humps, and off-camber sections. Some low-hanging branches along the trail may scrape even standard-height vehicles. Expect some whoops and washboards along the drive.
