Trail Overview
This 1.2-mile trail is a fun, technical connector defined by a mandatory rocky creek crossing and a couple of challenging climbs. The trail is a narrow two-track that runs through a patchy burn scar from the 2020 Creek Wildfire, where aggressive brush is rapidly regrowing, making for a tight, scratch-prone squeeze. The trail features multiple technical elements, including steep, loose climbs and a mandatory rocky creek crossing (37.11296, -119.19141) where rock stacking may be required to negotiate the largest boulders. The slow average speed confirms this is a focused, low-speed crawl from start to finish.
Difficulty
The difficulty rating is justified by the mandatory rocky creek crossing and the steep, loose climbs where 4WD-Low and high clearance are required for safe passage and torque management. The trail demands careful line selection to avoid damage at the creek and on the eroded climbs. The slow speed confirms the technical nature of the continuous obstacles.
