Thistle Flat - FS 50005

This trail is a short spur off of Orangeville Canyon that heads to Josephite Point Trailhead, passing Soup Bowl and Pete's Hole Reservoirs along the way. This trail is easy, as it makes its way to the trailhead with only some small rocks and ruts to traverse on the trail. This trail starts off going downhill for a short stretch to a bridge across the creek before entering the forest and heading uphill to the reservoirs. This trail is open to all vehicles and is closed seasonally from November 1st through June 1st, but may be impassable through June due to deep snow.
