Trail Overview

Climbing up out of Birch Creek Canyon to join Dry Canyon Road at almost 9,000 feet, this road is a well-maintained gravel Forest Service road. It features a small number of level dispersed camping spots with incredible views of nearby North Toiyabe Peak, which rises to 10,699 feet. It is also part of the Gold Venture Loop which passes by several mines in the area. This high-country road is not maintained in the winter and will likely be snowbound until late May.
