Land OwnerSequoia National Forest
Flowy, narrow singletrack that heads west from Kern Canyon Trail eventually connecting to Rancheria Road near Oak Flat. It is a motorized trail so there are occasional short steep pitches, but it is not heavily used by motos so it stays in pretty good shape.

Trail is in great condition. Some occasional overgrowth. But not much more than a minor annoyance. I did the ride with shorts but wearing pants or shin pads will completely negate this minor issue. Highly recommend.
loonrider
Really fantastic trail. Rides great both directions and very good as an out and back from Kern Canyon trail. This trail does not suffer from the cow and moto damage that many of the trails in do. Magic!
bnachtigall
Tight tight single track! Fun going down. Nothing too exposed. Still green as of yesterday.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
