Hero: Gold Hill Pass
small-sr Icon

A beautiful forest road that goes up and over Gold Hill and drops back down to Whitney Reservoir. It has deeply rutted and steep climbs, semi-shelf sections, rocky areas, and narrow areas with fallen trees. It is slow going, but the views over the pass are amazing and worth it. There aren't any camping areas directly on this route until you reach the bottom by Whitney Reservoir, but side roads offer options before the reservoir.
