Trail Overview

Elliot Ranch Road in Foresthill, California, is a rugged, unpaved route in the Tahoe National Forest, offering access to various recreational activities. It serves as the starting point for challenging trails like the Green Valley Trail, which descends steeply to the North Fork of the American River, and the Euchre Bar Trail, a historic 5.28-mile path along the river featuring fishing, camping, and swimming spots. The road itself is rocky and best navigated with high-clearance vehicles, making it popular among off-road enthusiasts and providing scenic views for hikers, mountain bikers, and drivers alike.
