Hero: Sloat McRae Road

Deep in the Plumas National Forest is a legendary scenic forest trail. Sloat McRae Road is a scenic overland route from Quincy to the Pacific Crest Trail/Gold Valley OHV Trail. This old forest trail has towering trees and stoic beauty and is a fantastic drive. Although this is an excellent offroad trail, you must watch as the local logging companies use the trail. As you start out from the north side, you cross over the amazing Middle Fork Feather River, up a narrow lush canyon, over the towering mountains, and back down the other side. The trail allows for dispersed camping, and Ross Campground is a first-come, first-serve camping area. With a running stream nearby, this campground is something special. Since the trail is a maintained logging road, the trail is straightforward, and any offroad vehicle can ride the trail. So, if you are in the area and looking for something just stunning, look no further than this trail.
