Trail Overview

This is a fun singletrack on the north side of the Burlington Trail System, easily accessed from FS 20-016, which has a couple dispersed campsites and an area to park a few vehicles to stage. From the west entrance to the trail, it curves tightly through the forest for about 2 miles, making quick hairpin turns on a dry and dusty path, over small root bands and minor rock. After 2 miles, it makes an almost 4 mile long loop. The loop portion of the route is also very tight and winding, with constant gradual switchbacks and sharp curves like a turn track. However, this section has a bit more elevation gain as it goes up and down small hills, and more frequent loose rock. There's lots of downfall to the edge of the trail, but the trail was clear of any logs.

Access Description

The Burlington Trail System is located off of Highway 20 in the Tahoe National Forest. The trails are accessible from the Skillman Campground, the Chalk Bluff Staging Area, or the Alpha Omega Observation Site/Scenic View Area. The trails are open year-round, but close intermittently during wet conditions or during forestry operations, so it is necessary to call the Yuba River Ranger District for the status of the trail system: (530) 478-6253.
