was excited to find some camping spots on this trail but didn’t realize that you have to pay an entrance fee for the area. Bet it has some cool spots and it’s probably a pretty cheap fee but we turned around and went up Strawberry Road on the BLM land right next door. There’s also no fire restrictions on the BLM land unlike this trail in the National Forest.

Access Description

Exit to CR 83 from Highway 40 near Tabernash. Continue left onto FS 129/CR 84.
