Trail Overview
This narrow dirt and gravel trail winds through the surrounding hills with 6–8 inch ruts during the climbs. Around 1.6 miles, the surface becomes extremely soft and sandy as the trail begins a steep descent.
At the end, a large, level campsite accommodates six to eight vehicles with incredible views of Bishop and the surrounding mountains. Be aware that this is a one-way-in, one-way-out route. Around 1.9 miles in, you must descend a very steep, soft, sandy hill that you will have to climb again on the return trip.
Difficulty
This trail is rated Level 5 because of the extremely steep, soft, sandy hill climb required on the return trip, along with 6–8-inch ruts and loose terrain. 4WD or AWD is required, and airing down to a low, safe tire pressure is highly recommended for the return climb.
