SideXSide Action - March 2008 - 84

A WEEKEND ON THE We headed in with four Rhinos to see if we could make it in all the way to the lake and back in one day. The trail is about six miles long and dead-ends at Barrett Lake. Twelve miles of riding in a Rhino may seem like a walk in the park for a typical day trip, but this trail isn’t an ordinary logging trail that you can blast along at 40 miles per hour. As soon as you pass through the gate at the trailhead, the trail is tough. Unlike the Rubicon, there is no warm-up and the twoand three-foot boulders get your heart pumping as you crawl up and over them. We certainly weren’t out to set any speed records, but making it through the Rock Garden and several other tough spots on the trail took every bit of four hours. We did make it to Barrett Lake and it is a gorgeous spot to camp for the weekend, or just hang out for lunch like we did. LAKE The trip back out took a bit less time than the way in. Maybe it was the thought of being on the trail after dark that inspired us to keep it moving. If you are afraid of a few scratches on your rig or the loud thump that rocks make on your skid plates when your front tires fall off a rock, this type of trail is not for you. But if you are looking for a bit more excitement that your normal forest road can offer, this is a fun trail. The Barrett Lake Jeep Trail is only open for a few months during the late summer and in extremely wet years will not open at all. Current trail status can be found by calling: Eldorado National Forest at (530) 647-5415 or checking online at www.fs.fed.us/r5/eldorado/conditions/ohv. The Barrett Lake Jeep Trail lies in an environmentally sensitive area on the border of Desolation Wilderness. Deviating from the established trail, driving onto Desolation Wilderness land or walking onto Desolation Wilderness without a permit has and will result in forest service fines. Please Tread Lightly so the trail will remain open for future generations. Stuck in the Rock Garden: How in the world did I manage to get this stuck? The good news with a Rhino is even in this bad of a spot, you and three friends can pick up the front end and slide it over a rock. 84 SIDE X SIDE ACTION MAGAZINE
