Trail Description

The high lakes area offers diverse terrain that ranges from grated roads to very challenging obstacles and hill climbs if you choose too. Being that we hit this trail in November, our biggest challenge was the snow. There was about two feet near the end of our route which makes it difficult to gauge how difficult this trail really is. I was very conservative rating this trail a three. This is a very great spot for a snow run. Be sure to bring a buddy and recovery equipment.

Directions: On Hwy 99 in Chico, CA take the Skyway exit towards Paradise. Drive approximately 30 miles on Skyway until you reach Inskip. It’s there where Skyway turns to dirt and the fun begins
