Trail Overview
Phillips Lick, designated as Forest Road 381, is a mostly well‑maintained route with a surface that alternates between gravel and dirt. Several sections show light rutting from rain runoff on the hills, but the trail remains easy overall. A few shallow mud puddles appear along the way, though none present significant difficulty. Vegetation overgrowth is light.
The trail is a spur off Hite Hollow and is open year‑round. Dispersed camping is permitted along the entire route. Two established campsites sit along the trail, each large enough to accommodate a couple of tents and offering level ground with adequate space. The trail ends with a small turnaround area.
Difficulty
Several sections of light rutting and shallow puddles. A couple of sections require more ground clearance than a typical passenger car. Mostly one vehicle wide, but many opportunities where two can fit.
