Description:
Fordyce Creek is a premier hardcore trail a debatable second to the Rubicon. Tight maneuvering over miles of large, steep and awkwardly positioned boulders. Deep water crossings at low water flows. You may want to check out the CA4WD clubs event in early August called the Sierra Trek. The club arranges with PG&E to restrict water flow in Fordyce Creek to passable levels. Other than during the Sierra Treck water levels can drastically rise without warning, leaving vehicles stranded between stream crossings. The hardest part of the trail, on the north end, can be driven without crossing Fordyce Creek, but you will need to turn around and drive back out.
