32E303

Trail 32E303 is a scenic and rugged trail within California’s Coyote Flats Trail Network, offering a high-altitude adventure for experienced off-roaders. Climbing from Big Pine into the upper reaches of the Inyo National Forest, this trail winds its way up steep, sandy hills before leveling out on a stunning alpine plateau at elevations between 10,000 and 11,000 feet. Along the ascent, drivers will encounter moderately difficult rocky sections, narrow tracks, and exposed shelf roads, making high-clearance 4x4 vehicles with low-range gearing a must.

Once on the plateau, the trail opens up to sweeping views of the Sierra backcountry and provides access to remote lakes like Funnel and Baker, both known for their natural beauty and dispersed camping opportunities. While Trail 32E303 offers plenty of visual reward and historical interest, including remnants of an old airstrip and mining sites, it lacks ideal campsites along its path. For better camping options, consider detouring to Trail 32E304 or the Funnel Lake area.

Remote and largely off the grid, this route is best explored in summer or early fall after snowmelt. With its combination of technical terrain, mountain scenery, and solitude, 32E303 delivers a true backcountry experience for those up to the challenge.
