Trail Overview

This trail branches of of Rhodes Canyon and heads up to Silver Meadows. The top end of the trail by Silver Meadows is smooth and graded forest service road up until you pass Little Pond where it then turns into a rocky and slow drive with only a few spots to turn off. The trail is scenic as it winds its way through the forest up the canyon with wildflowers scattered about. The trail is one vehicle wide with places to pass and travels through a burn scar from late 2024 and fallen trees may be common across the lower trail as it is less maintained. The trail does not have a set close date but is normally inaccessible during the winter due to deep snow and is usually clear mid June to early July.

Status Reports

It's a bit rough, but super fun if you've got a capable rig. we had 2 tacomas with minimum 2 inch lifts. There is a fallen tree blocking the path, but there's a path around it. Be careful once you intersect with Rhodes Canyon as there's cattle on and near the road.
