Directions

Take I5 to Red Bluff which is about 120 miles north of Sacramento. Take the Hwy 36/Antelope exit and turn right (east). Take Antelop about one mile until you just leave town where you'll see Hogsback on the left. Turn left and drive up hogsback approximately 12 miles where there will be a right had fork. Drive down to Facht place and cross Antelope Creek where you drive about 5.5 miles making lefts at both of the forks you come to. When you reach 5.5 miles, you'll make a right down a much less travel road and the fun begins here. You can exit by driving up the Peligreen and then north on Ponderosa to the town of Paynes Creek. Then take Hwy 36 about 25 miles back to Red Bluff. This is a full days run so have plenty of gas and water during the hot months.
