We will access the meadow from Forest Road 7N16. High clearance vehicle is recommended. We will have multiple Forest Service vehicles available at Hermit Springs, so hopefully we can car-pool. Please be prepared to hike greater than a mile.
Meadow access is approximately 0.5 miles along a 4X4 trail (vehicles are not recommended). I’ll have an UTV to shuttle people, water, lunches and other gear from 7N16, but many will enjoy the scenic walk along the trail. The meadow is about 110 acres, much of which is privately owned (see yellow box attachment), so bring plenty of energy to explore the meadow.
