Named after the long-abandoned Jolene Mine, this rugged trail is a true test of skill and nerve. Jolene runs along a narrow shelf road with steep drop-offs into ravines and valleys, offering stunning views and scenery. The terrain is a mix of packed dirt, sharp rocks, scattered boulders, and off-camber sections reaching 25–30 degrees. A lifted vehicle with off-road tires is strongly recommended. While there are no established campsites along the route, it does pass by the old El Oso Mine area. It connects with Big Pine Flat and Edward’s Park Trails to form a challenging and scenic loop.
