| Description |
There are lots of trails and lakes in the area.
It is pretty easy all the way to Spring Valley Lake.
After Spring Valley Lake you cross a creek that has larger boulders which in 2006 was moderate and in 2009 was getting a lot closer to difficult.
Then you have to go over a ledge where people normally have rocks stacked up. The trail down to Morris Lake is rated difficult. 33s at least one locker and rock armor is advised. In 2009 I cut the side wall on my driver side rear about 1/2 way into Morris. Once I climbed out of Morris and was on top I got a flat on my passenger side front. (I only had one spare) I ended up having to cut off the tire and drive 10mph for 30 miles to Less Schwab in Paradise where I purchased two used tires and one used rim for $106.00. |
