Rogger Meadow to Crane Mountain Tr161

Due to the 6500' to 8000' terrain, expect snow on the trail till July, making this a good high summer ride.

The first 8mi are fairly moderate, with half of the elevation gain occurring in the final 3.4mi Crane Mountain ascent.

The Rogger Meadow to Crane Mountain section gets the most use, with a southern section from Crane Mountain to just across the border in California, and a Northern Fremont NRT (non-motorized) section from the Walker TH to Vee Lake.

The Camas Sno-Park provides an easy starting point, with the Walker TH suitable for the northern section and the FR4011 Willow Point TH suitable for the southern section. The 5-point FR3915 intersection Rogger Meadow TH can be used to shorten the ride.

Note: many roads in this area are unmaintained and may not be passable. They are shown with a lighter shade, as drop-out paths to the main roads.

Local clubs use about 30mi of ungroomed terrain (most of the forest roads shown) for nordic skiing.

Crane Mountain NRT to Modoc

This map covers the less-frequented southern section, which terminates near Cave Lake. Due to light use, some pathfinding may be needed, so be sure to pack accordingly (thermal blanket, water, food).

Mosquitoes are ferocious in this area until August. Feel free to try the natural repellents, and avoid drinking carbonated drinks prior to riding, but Deet 100 may be the only protection from 'the swarm'. Expect some trailside poison oak and prepare as needed. Try using Tecnu before the ride.
