This part of the Stanislaus National Forest this area offers about five miles of rugged 4x4 trails. The trails are mostly wide and hard packed but many have obstacles that range from chunky loose rock to massive rock boulders with steep granite slabs.

Camping can be found at Niagara Campground which has ten primitive sites, each with a picnic table and fire ring. A vault toilet is available but drinking water is not so bring your own supplies. Sites are first come, first serve. The campground is usually accessible around late May though September, but exact dates vary. Call first for current conditions.
