Trail Overview

This is a 4-mile-long easy singletrack in the Burlington Trail System. The entrance off of FS 32-004 starts out as a wide corridor between the trees, more like an old shelf road, as it gradually descends down to the intersection with #9. Continuing clockwise, it goes through a narrow corridor between the dogwood trees, with overgrown branches. It has a couple steeper hill climbs and descents, a small rocky ravine crossing, plus a shelfier section as it side-hills along the rolling hillside. After the intersection with #66, it continues as a tight and winding singletrack, continuously curving through the trees with sharp switchbacks and big hairpin corners. It's mostly smooth dirt with a few embedded roots here and there, and very minor intermittent loose rock. There were a lot of downed logs to the side of the trail, but the trail was clear of any log obstacles as this is a highly maintained area and most logs will likely get cut.

Access Description

The Burlington Trail System is located off of Highway 20 in the Tahoe National Forest. The trails are accessible from the Skillman Campground, the Chalk Bluff Staging Area, or the Alpha Omega Observation Site/Scenic View Area. The trails are open year-round, but close intermittently during wet conditions or during forestry operations, so it is necessary to call the Yuba River Ranger District for the status of the trail system: (530) 478-6253.
