Description

This is a well-maintained trail. Surprisingly, I've encountered only a half dozen hikers on this trail.
Jeffrey Pine & White Fir provide a nice canopy over much of the trail.
After arriving at the Sierra Canyon trailhead the last 2.2 miles you'll be running on gravel and paved roads, past private property on both sides of the road. Be respectful of private property and of its owners.

Flora & Fauna

Jeffrey Pine & White Fir provide a nice canopy over much of the trail.
