Trail Overview
This out-and-back trail starts just off Horseshoe Meadows Road. It is a sandy trail with various rock garden obstacles. Heavy ruts are also found at various spots but can be bypassed with smart, cautious driving. It starts at just under 5,000 feet and rises over 1,000 feet. You are rewarded with stunning views of the Alabama Hills rock formations, the surrounding mountains, Lone Pine, and the Owen Valley and Lake below. Spring can also bring beautiful wildflowers. This trail is more challenging than the South Fork trail. High-clearance 4x4 is recommended.
