Trail Overview

This 3.7-mile point-to-point trail connects Manastash Ridge and Tripod Flat trails. This trail passes through old fire-burnt forests with new growth. There are many fallen trees that line this trail and create the potential of getting caught on. The trail has many narrow clearance sections that wind through the trees. There is one long steep grade that goes up to Manastash Ridge which is also a rock garden.

A lot of steep climbs with rocks and roots. Amazing views throughout. a few mud holes still present, about 15-18" deep at most. Trail is pretty tight and I wouldn't recommend for larger vehicles.
