“An old USFS trail running alongside the reservoir just upriver of the CCC dam. Fun and flowy. ”

Description

This trail is best ridden out from Forbush; however, it also provides access to the old quicksilver gold mine ruins, which is a worthwhile destination in and of itself. A flowy trail with constant ups and downs in both directions. Largely under canopy of ceanothus.
