7N17 - Slick Rock Road

High in the Stanislaus National Forest near Bear Valley is one of California's great 4x4 rock crawling trails, Slick Rock Road. Numerous camping opportunities, beautiful mountain views, two reservoirs, a lake, creeks and plenty of challenging rock obstacles make up Slick Rock Road and the surrounding area. A re-route near the north end of the trail in 2018 has added to the challenge of this trail by introducing two new obstacles ( See Waypoints 25 and 26 ). With the addition of these obstacles, what was once a mildly challenging rock crawling trail is now a borderline extreme trail. While the southern section of this trail can still be enjoyed by most 4x4 vehicles, more experienced wheelers in built rigs will appreciate the new obstacles near the trails north end.
