The East Carson River Trail leads into the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness from the High Trail/East Carson River Trailhead. Both trails begin at the same point. The East Carson River Trail is more gentle, but longer than the High Trail. There is a sign post at the first fork showing the East Carson River Trail to the left, the High Trail to the right. Continue along this clearly visible trail past Wolf Creek Lake. Stay right at the next fork to remain on the East Carson River Trail ( The trail to the left goes to Grays Crossing, a favorite fishing spot and continues along an old jeep road to Vaquero Camp and Silver King Valley ). The East Carson River Trail to the junction with the High Trail is about eight miles long. A loop heading up the High Trail and returning by the East Carson River Trail is often favored by horseback riders and hardy day hikers. The distance is about 15 miles with some strenuous hiking up the High Trail. The trail continues to Soda Springs guard station, Falls Meadow, Carson Falls and Golden Canyon. There are no river crossings until about a half mile before Soda Springs. Crossings can be hazardous in the early season and caution is advised. For overnight trips a topo map is highly recommended. Please Remember: * Always carry drinking water. LEAVE NO TRACE!
