Trail Overview

Shirley Meadows FS 25S31 departs from Rancheria Road and pushes into a thick stand of tall pine trees within Sequoia National Forest. The dense forest canopy and shelf road character give this trail a different feel from the more open desert and lakeshore routes in the surrounding network. Note that the trail currently ends earlier than its full extent due to downed trees blocking the route.

Difficulty

The dirt surface is generally manageable, but it can turn muddy after rain. Ruts up to 6 inches deep appear along the route. The downed trees blocking the trail before its full extent are the most significant practical challenge, as the turnaround point is earlier than expected, and space may be limited depending on vehicle length.
