20S03A, also known as Monache Corral, is the first spur road along the main Manche Meadows artery. The name likely comes from the old corral near the trail's end. As you head down this dead-end trail, it loops around the hill to a stunning remote campsite near the southern side of the meadows. This campsite at 7,890 feet above sea level is a great place to relax for a fantastic weekend due to its stunning views, remoteness, and cool weather. This trail is easy and suitable for any high clearance vehicle. Several large campsites at the end of the trail sit on the meadow's edge and can easily support large groups of 7+ rigs. The ground is flat dirt with a pine forest canopy. Just to the east, about 100 yards, is the Kern River. Following the white rock path to the river will take you to several swimming holes.

When driving the trail, you will pass through cattle gates. Please leave them as you found them unless there is a sign. If a sign is present, please follow the instructions.
