Trail Overview
Open to ALL Vehicles 4/1-12/31 (Be Cautious of Others). Last Chance Road co-mingles with a main motorcycle trail for the Tahoe National Forest, which leads either to Michigan Bluff, China Wall, or even over to Sugar Pine. Trail starting off from Mosquito Ridge Road NFH 96 is a dusty dirt road with a mix of small rocks providing some incline. At the intersection of FS 44, the road changes to gravel. No cell coverage here, but enjoy the nice canyon breeze full of pine while catching a glimpse of the monarchs, lodgepole chipmunks, and deer. *Dual Road and Seasonal Snow Trail Routes* Road 0096 (Mosquito Ridge Road) is open to wheeled motorized vehicle travel by the public, except when managed as a snow trail as described in the "Special Seasonal Designations for Roads Managed as Tracked Over-Snow Vehicle Routes Table." For the current Open/Closed Status of Road 0096, call the American River Ranger District at 530-367-2224 ext. 228.
