Moraine Picnic

Trail Overview

Moraine Picnic is a sandy but otherwise fairly easy trail. If you come off FS 7S09, there is a small rock obstacle that you will need 4WD (4 Low) and basic off-road skills. This trail takes you along the ridge on the West side of Highway 168. There are lots of overlooks but not many places to turn out, there are a few gated areas for the hydro access that provide spots to rest or pass other vehicles, otherwise it is single vehicle wide. Absolutely awesome views of the surrounding mountains and views back towards Bishop. Large Adventure bikes, be wary, there is a lot of sand.
