Location Information
GENERAL INFORMATION: This ride begins at the south end of the trail at the trailhead on forest road 1N02. The trail is currently designed primarily for foot and horse use, so trail width, grades and tight turning curves present challenges to the rider's skill and strength. The trail winds through grassy glades, oak woodlands, and shady stands of mixed conifer. Many picnic spots are scattered along the way, and a nice place to camp lies at the north end at Hellhole Canyon. The best seasons of use are spring/early summer, and fall. Eel River Campground is about 4 miles from the trailhead, adjacent to Eel River Work Center.
