Alt Names

Trail 3e02, Six Rivers National Forest

Last Known Status

Open

This scenic four mile single-track trail is for motorcycles only, but the main forest road can be used to form nice loop. You can travel in either direction, but starting the trail at the lower trailhead (the creek crossing) is considerably easier due to the long series super sharp switchbacks which are much easier going up than coming down. Watch for an old fire lookout at the top and a large open meadow with views of the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding mountains.
