Deep in the Plumas National Forest sits an easy dirt trail that takes you from Butt Lake to Lake Almanor. As you travel down the trail, you will pass Butt Lake, a California reservoir. Once you pass the lake, you will climb back up, drop down the mountains, and pass over the North Fork Feather River before starting the long climb up the mountain, which ends roughly 4832 feet above sea level. The trail sits on the side of the sheer mountain cliffs for most of the route, giving it exceptional beauty, but it will also pass through burn scars. The road is maintained and suitable for any high clearance vehicle. No camping is found along the route.
