Salmon Creek FS 23S08

Trail Overview

Salmon Creek FS 23S08 winds along a shelf road for 8 miles out and back through pine forest within Sequoia National Forest, dropping nearly 900 feet and gaining over 300 feet across 4 miles of one-way travel. Beautiful views of the canyon and hills below accompany the shelf road throughout. The middle section passes through private land but maintains a public right of way for through access. Horse Meadow Campground sits along the route alongside various hiking trail access points. The trail ends at a turnaround with hiking trails leading to Salmon Falls, a worthwhile destination for those looking to stretch their legs at the terminus.

Difficulty

Ruts, uneven surfaces, and slightly off-camber sections appear throughout. Pine needles and pine cones scattered across the surface add minor variability in traction in places. The shelf road character with canyon views below warrants steady attention throughout, particularly on the off-camber sections. Street-legal vehicles only are permitted, and no green sticker vehicles, including ATVs and UTVs, are allowed.
