Trail Overview

This 15.1-mile point-to-point trail takes you up Packard Canyon to the Old Yosemite Coulterville Road. The trail starts with low brush and sparse trees that climb to more dense forest. There are a few areas that are narrow as you negotiate washed-out sections of the trail. There are many possible turn-offs along this trail, all of which are dead ends to either washed-out nonpassable roads or large fallen trees. Local ranchers use this area for free cattle grazing, so be cautious of livestock as you travel this trail.

Washout
Road is washed out about 1 hour in and no way to pass. When you come to the fork in the road there is an open gate to bypass the washout, but it is a less traveled road and narrow areas/branches that will scratch your wide vehicle. Watch out for cows around each corner too as they like to lay on the road. If you don’t like cliffs don’t take this trail.
