Corral Hollow

Trail Overview

This trail, open to green-sticker vehicles, starts out with a steep climb through thick mule ear meadows up to a high ridge. Stop to enjoy the beautiful views of Bear Valley Ski Area and Mokelumne Wilderness. A few campspots are available along the ridge. The trail becomes easier after the ridge for the rest of the ride. Take time to visit a historic cowboy cabin. Green-sticker vehicles must stop here, but others can continue onto the last mile along Cabbage Patch Road.
