Trail Overview
Red Point (5001K-002) is a short, but challenging spur off of Elliot Ranch Road near the Foresthill OHV area. The trail is not particularly difficult, but is quite narrow - and gets overgrown quickly. The majority of the trail is just wide enough for a mid-size truck, with few opportunities to pull off or pass oncoming traffic. The first quarter mile of the trail is well-maintained and easily traversed in 2WD. The transition to the more difficult portion of the trail is obvious, with an easy turn-around point. Turning around later on is much more difficult, and requires more off-roading experience.

Difficulty
The primary reason for Technical Rating 4 is how narrow the trail is, along with low visibility, and the skill required to pass oncoming traffic. The trail seems innocuous but can become dangerous very quickly for inexperienced off-roaders.
