Jewel Basin Road

Trail Overview

Fun, scenic trail that leads to epic hiking. Road is rough and narrow, but still passable with most 2wd cars. Expect potholes, washboard, and steep sections. You'll arrive at the Camp Misery trailhead about 30 mins after you start. There's a parking lot that's usually full, with a vault toilet and ranger station. From here, you can choose many different hikes, including Mount Aeneas and Picnic Lakes.

Difficulty

Potholes, washboard, and steep sections make this trail a bit more challenging, but still accessible by high-clearing 2wd vehicles.
