Camp Five 8044 is an unnamed connector between Calamity Canyon and Bear Den. It is less than a mile long and has no camping options or beautiful views. This trail is best used as a shortcut to Calamity Canyon as it starts near the northern entrance or as a bailout option if Calamity Canyon and the Calamity Canyon Bypass prove too difficult.
This trail, when started from Bear Den, starts tame with mostly rough dirt. It progressively gets rockier until it drops toward Calamity Canyon, losing altitude fast as the rocks get bigger and the washout gets deeper. High clearance and 4-Lo are recommended, especially when going back up from Calamity Canyon. Expect embedded rocks up to 12" tall.
