Monache Meadows

Trail Overview

Monache Meadows is a beautiful scenic valley surrounded by wilderness areas. The road follows and crosses the South fork of Kern River. There are great camp spots along the route and at the end. Explore, camp, fish, and relax along the river in this remote, secluded area. Open to green-sticker vehicles, but you must always stay on existing routes.
