Galena Branch 5H starts off Galena Road just west of Forestry Road 180. This route is short and mainly a connector route from Galena Road to the southern end of the main Camp 5 trail. It is a mostly rough dirt road until it turns into trail 8047, where it becomes tighter and rockier, and tree branches are likely to connect with the side of your vehicle. 8047 exits onto Calamity Canyon / Calamity Bypass about 1/8th mile from the start, near the end of Camp 5. Overall, this section is just two miles long and would be accessible by any standard 4x4 and most AWD SUVs with a patient and experienced driver. Expect some loose rock 6-8" and mildly graded hills.

Camping along the road is limited to two pullouts. One would accept a vehicle with a rooftop tent, and the other could accommodate a small trailer. Both are located right on the side of the trail and offer no privacy.
