Location Information
The Sourdough Trail is fairly steep with elevations from 1,000 to 2,500 ft. The rare Darlingtonia (flycatcher) plant can be seen along the way as well as many vegetative and soil changes. Spring is a good time to view serpentine associated plant species. A historical grave site as well as fishing and swimming are interests also found here. Please travel and camp with minimum impact as this trail is within the Lemingsworth Gulch Research Natural Area (RNA). NOTE: For access to the North Fork Smith River Trail #1233, carefully ford the river. For access to the Sourdough Camp and Forest Service Road 4402 carefully ford both the river and Bald Face Creek.
