This is a new
trail, built in 2006, up from High Bridge Trailhead in Cache
Creek Natural Area. Most trails in the Natural Area
are old 4WD routes, so this a preferred route.
A vigorous climb up from Bear
Creek, through Blue Oak and Foothill Pine, to grassy knolls
atop the ridge. Fine views.
There is a crossing of Bear Creek. The
flow ranges from easy to impassable. The
Bear Creek Flow Gauge gives current flow readings.
5 CFS is skip across
15 CFS is may get feet wet
110 CFS is wade across (might be dangerous)
If the creek is high, the
ford can be bypassed by a short cross-country walk from the
highway bridge (see the hike map).
Cache is pronounced "cash." |
