Shortcut - FS 96-034

Trail Overview

Open to All Vehicles (Be Cautious of Others). Shortcut is quaint while taking in the secret pocket areas found in established forest ecology. Hearing the sounds of woodpeckers and catching a glimpse of a lodgepole chipmunk is a nice treat when wanting to get off Mosquito Ridge Road to connect to Peavine FS 33 or Deep Canyon Road FS 44. Many hiking tails are nearby, along with 4x4 trails. Cell coverage is spotty. *Dual Road and Seasonal Snow Trail Routes* Road 0096 (Mosquito Ridge Road) is open to wheeled motorized vehicle travel by the public, except when managed as a snow trail as described in the "Special Seasonal Designations for Roads Managed as Tracked Over-Snow Vehicle Routes Table." For the current Open/Closed Status of Road 0096, call the American River Ranger District at 530-367-2224 ext. 228
