Some trail information is below.
The trail is not hard. I have taken numerous first timers in stock FJs with no major consequences. Rock rails are required for the second obstacle. There are a total of three obstacles. The first two have bypasses, the third does not. There are also a couple of fairly steep climbs and an area with many 6” to 10” rocks to navigate.
A map of the area can be found at the following website http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/eldorado/recreation/travel/index.shtml
The map is named “Placerville Ranger District Map - Side 2” (MVUMPlacervilleSide02.pdf) and the trail head coordinates are approximately:
38 45 N 120 15 W

If you are running late and miss us, getting to the trail is easy.
Continue up Hwy 50 toward Tahoe, just past Kyburz (about 30 min. from Placerville) take a right on Silverfork Road
A few miles up Silverfork Road, take a left on Long Canyon trail (dirt road)
I will have a CB on Ch 31 and 7/31 on FRS. HAM Frequency is 146.460 no tone.
