Trail Overview
A 44-mile east-to-west route through Mendocino National Forest. Starting at Stonyford OHV Staging Area and ending at Middle Creek OHV Staging Area. Great views of mountains, valleys, and Clear Lake towards the end. Campsites are plentiful along the route. The trail does get increasingly narrow as you traverse previous wildfire deadfall and debris. Phone service is spotty at best; download offline maps for the area.

Difficulty
(Winter Run): Both ends of the trail are fairly easy (3) but the middle section of the trail was covered in snow and mud boosting the difficulty to at least a (4-5). Expect pinstripes from the narrow track and deadfall lining the trail. Some areas are not well maintained and need trees/limbs cleared away to progress.
