Highlight • Trail

Small trailhead area with very limited parking at the new, paved forest service road, closed to vehicles. The old road is now just a narrow single track trail on the North side of Pole Creek. Both meet at the bridge across Pole Creek about halfway up the hill and continue past Bradley Hut and Tinker Knob to the Pacific Crest Trail.

Since bear canisters are required now in the Desolation Wilderness, this will be your first option to send it back again.
