Trail Overview

Vallecitos Pass is a dispersed camper's dream, even if you only have a high clearance 2WD. This easy-to-traverse trail has no major obstacles, only showing signs of minor ruts and small grades with loose rocks. Dispersed camping is permitted from .02 miles from the south entrance coming off of CR-447 and up to 6.2 miles from the south entrance before the trail intersects the first section of private land. From there, dispersed camping is permitted again from mile 7.5 to mile 9.2 from the southern entrance. Several areas are semi-developed with fire rings, open clearings, and multiple rough sites that are flat and open enough for camping. This trail also intersects FSR-91 and FSR-91B, which will lead to Hopewell Lake approximately 13 miles to the north when taking FSR-91 B. Cell service is minimal until the last few miles towards the east end of the trail where it intersects SR-64, which can also be utilized to reach Hopewell Lake and Hopewell Dam as well as the campgrounds.
