Last Known StatusOpen

This part of the Sequoia National Forest offers miles of designated motorized trails for all vehicle types. The terrain is mostly hard packed but has a lot of elevation changes and panoramic mountain views. Those with street legal machines can explore the northern trails near Rhymes Camp and Bull Run.

The most popular place to camp and stage is at Evans Flat Campground, which provides access to mostly rugged 4x4 and ATV trails but there are several miles of designated single track. Davis Camp is located about a mile further south past Evans Flat but is smaller and a little more secluded.

There is no fee charged to camp or ride but there are no services so bring your own supplies.
