Short Cut Road is a handy alternative to Gold Camp Road, cutting nearly a mile off the usual route. This rugged path, filled with deep ruts, calls for a vehicle with high clearance. It’s also a popular spot for recreational shooting, so don't be surprised to find people engaged in target practice. If you choose this shortcut, watch for parked cars and active shooters. It’s a quick, practical choice for those comfortable with the rough terrain, getting you back to the trails on Gold Camp Road faster.
