This is a short and sweet route up to Laguna Larga Lake. At the start of the trail, signage warns against passenger cars. The first mile is the most challenging section of the trail, with a rough section of lava rock and a couple of rutted areas on a climb, but high-clearance 2WD should be able to traverse this area. All-terrain or other rugged tires are recommended due to the harsh lava rock that likes to protrude from the trail in various spots.
All camping is located at the end of the trail around Laguna Larga. A few aging concrete picnic tables dot the lakeside, while a handful of campsites can also be found farther back in the ponderosa pines. You may also see a couple of memorials erected for loved ones. Please be respectful of these sites.
