Fenner Saddle Road

Per Caltrans, HJighway 2 is still closed as of May 27, 2023

Highway 2 is still closed at Big Pines on May 14th.

The trail is open from Waypoint 7, but this tree has fallen on Waypoint 3 making it impassable…..and bring a spare. Sharp rocks.

As of April 10, 2023, the trail remains inaccessible. Highway 2 is still closed just past Big Pines.

The trail is still closed due to the large amount of snow this year.

This is a very cool road to drive on. Spotted lots of deer off the road, Very well maintained and an absolute pleasure to take

Narrow shelf road in most spots. Spotted a bobcat on the trail. Good valley views.

Gate is open and Highway 2 is open to the trailhead at Vincent Gulch. The highway is closed beyond there. Be aware of mud on the trail due to melting snow.

Trail is inaccessible due to Highway 2 closure at the Grass Hollow Visiter Center. Plus a snowstorm is expected for the next two days.

Great fun. Ran today with my 2wd locked Sequoia. I wasn’t looking for snow but I found it, and it found me. Self-recovered three times; thank goodness for winches and recovery gear (and conveniently-placed trees and roots!). Great recovery practice to hone my skills. Wonderful views. No one on the trail, but I did score a set of recovery boards and a single Carhart glove that were left behind! Easily passable in 2wd open if no snow present. Would recommend 4wd if snow on ground, or go with a group and recovery equipment.

My go to place for a quick off-road therapy! Some sections are still covered in snow, ice and mud. Fun, easy and very scenic trail. Easily done with any 4X4 and AWD vehicles. You'll end up in Mt. Oak campground and Jackson lake which is frozen at the moment.

Did this trail with my small hatchback AWD on a stock rims and suspension with All terrain tires. It is right next to Big Rock Trail. Super easy trail with amazing views, there are a few spots you can park and take pictures. You'll end up by Mt. Oak campground and Jackson Lake.

Awesome Trail!!! A great little ride through Wrightwood with beautiful views throughout the trail. The trail is fully open with no obstructions and no obstacles whatsoever. Only recommendation is to air down because there are small patches of rock gardens that may give street pressure tires some good bouncing. Ran the trail as intended from Vincent Gap and took the Pinyon Ridge detour to add to the trail duration. Pack some lunch and some fishing gear, cause you'll want to stop at Jackson Lake and spend some time relaxing.

Great quick trail with amazing views. Easily done with Subaru Forester. Trail gets a little narrow at certain spots and be careful of some of the larger boulders that have fallen. Looks like there was some trees that have fallen recently but they all have been cut so the trail is fully open. Next time up I will take advantage of the other trails close by.

This trail is very scenic; you'll enjoy vistas that stretch far across the Mojave desert while traveling through beautiful conifer forest. Just be sure to stop when you take in those views; taking your eyes off of this rocky, narrow shelf road while driving would be a VERY bad idea. This is a good trail to work out your fear of heights, as the drop-offs here are hundreds, if not thousands, of feet high. I took a couple opportunities to peek over the edge, and it made me a little queasy. There are stretches where the road is very rocky. I didn't air down (I usually run about 32psi on pavement) and there were a couple spots where I questioned that decision, both for comfort and due to the sharpness of some of the rocks. There are no obstacles to speak of, but there are two spots where you have to move toward the edge to get around a boulder and the remnants of a felled tree. Driving through the camp at the end of the trail is a little strange, especially when there are children present.

Fun and easy trail with great views! We were looking for a quick easy run and this was perfect. It is a well maintained dirt road without any challenges. It is narrow in most places but has turnouts for passing and taking in the views. It is very steep off the side, so take it easy on the corners. We paired it with the 4N56 Pinyon Ridge trail to make it a little longer.
