    US West Strawberry Pass

    Strawberry Pass is a great scenic trail that connects highways 50 and 88. The trail is generally run from the North, which allows you to climb up from Highway 50 over Strawberry pass (8,615 feet). The Northern half of the trail is the most difficult while the southern half remains easy to...

    US West Alpine Valley Trail Runs

    What a weekend!! Thanks for all the participated! We all (well most ;) ) had a great time. Corral Hollow was the expected easy run for everyone with awesome views at the top. Slick Rock was a mutha!! But was a lot of fun and truly a test of ones rig, driving capabilities and spotting skills...

    Okay bud, I understand. But there is another brand new JLU that is coming that won't be running slick Rock so don't feel you have to. Thanks for the heads up on Corral Hollow. Quite the difference it'll be from last year then!

    US West Alpine Valley Trail Runs

    UPDATE to everyone who I haven't already reached out to. We'll be looking to camp two nights around Lake Alpine as there are way more amenities/sites to check out around there as compared to the top of Corral Hollow. We'll be leaving the Bel Air parking lot in Cameron Park at 8:15 Friday...

    US West Alpine Valley Trail Runs

    Hey Andrew, just got back from our meeting. Thanks for your into! I ran part of Barney Riley last year and agree those trails can be tight. One of the guys is in a brand new Jeep so I'll have to make him aware of the potential scratches. He and I are going to continue to 395 from the hot...

    Bay Area, CA; Slick Rock Trail - Difficulty?

    I've heard most people say they started at the southern end instead of by Alpine Lake. Any particular reason why? I'm leading a small group up there Saturday (all first timers) and just trying to get info on what's best for the group. Thanks!

    Bay Area, CA; Slick Rock Trail - Difficulty?

    Probably due to the late start to the camping/trail runs up there from the snow. Appreciate the info!

    Bay Area, CA; Slick Rock Trail - Difficulty?

    Great info! I'll keep that in mind Saturday and glad to hear the snow will more than likely be gone. Did you get a chance to see how busy Lake Alpine Campground was?

    US West Alpine Valley Trail Runs

    Hello Matt, we can discuss the options when I see you at work tomorrow but I would not suggest staying a second night at Corral Hollow since there isn't much going on up there.

    US West Alpine Valley Trail Runs

    Hey Fly Boy. We plan on making it to the Corral Hollow trailhead (eastern side) around 11:30. Slick Rock is a difficult trail and from what I've researched you should be okay with your 33's and 3.5" lift. If there are any issues we can always winch you up and over any obstacles. There will...

    US West Alpine Valley Trail Runs

    Hey Andrew, the only Safeway I'm seeing in that area is in Sonora, not Arnold. So we can either meet at the Big Trees Market (on Hwy. 4 in Arnold) or just at the Coral Hollow trail head, at Hwy. 4, which is our air down area.

    US West Alpine Valley Trail Runs

    This trip is definitely doable as a one day trip as each day we'll be doing a distinct different trail/campsite.
