This trail travels through a scenic canyon and should be easy enough for any vehicle with enough clearance. This is an easier alternative to taking the west portion of Troy pipeline road if you prefer.

There might be a lot of confusion lately with the San Bernardino National Forest order ( No. 05-12-00-23-03 ) closing almost all forest trails in southern California. This trail is still open.

Made a quick run through here as a shortcut from Lucerne to Newberry Springs. Probably didn’t save me much time, but more enjoyable than pavement 😀

Fun trail with a lot of interesting sites. About a quarter mile off trail, from waypoint 09 is Kane Spring, an actual desert oasis where spring water is running.
