Trail Overview

This narrow, fine-dirt trail travels through dense forest with 4–6 inch ruts and little room for vehicles to pass. Tight trees and overgrown vegetation make pinstriping possible, especially for taller or wider vehicles. Low-hanging branches provide approximately 8 feet of overhead clearance. Within the first 0.4 miles, more than six level, shaded campsites accommodate up to five vehicles each and have fire rings. The route finishes at a large, level campsite accommodating up to 12 vehicles. Previous routes continuing beyond this point are closed and blocked by land-manager signage.

Difficulty

This trail is rated Level 2 because of the 4 to 6-inch ruts, tight trees, overgrown vegetation, and 8-foot overhead clearance. The fine-dirt surface can also become more difficult when wet.

History

Inyo National Forest was established in 1907 and today protects a vast section of the Eastern Sierra surrounding Mammoth Lakes. The area has a long history of Native American use, mining, ranching, and recreation, while its dramatic landscape was shaped by volcanic activity, glaciers, and the uplift of the Sierra Nevada.
