Winter weather can close this route. A campfire permit is required to camp along this road.<\/p>\n<p>The lower part of the canyon has rock features, small waterfalls, swimming holes, picnic spots and sometimes cattle grazing. Several prime unmarked, primitive camp sites along this road &#8211; but few and far between.

Few primitive camp sites on right side of road, near where the creek breaks away from road. Good for stargazing way back here. 4&#215;4 may be needed.

Several steep miles climb up into the dense pine forest, following the creek the whole way. Several prime creekside camp sites fill up fast in this stretch. Great views, steep dirt roads.

Dark, upper elevations, snow lingers long in the shade. 4WD may be needed in wet areas. Mud is quite common MOST of the year in this spot, so know your vehicles capabilities before you get yourself stuck (or stranded). It&#8217;s a very long walk to any kinda civilization! <\/p>\n<p>Hunters like to use these upper camps during hunting season. A camp fire permit is required, so bring your shovel and bucket; self-sufficient campers enjoy the back roads most often.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/totalescape.com\/outside\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/lilgorgesses.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/totalescape.com\/outside\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/lilgorgesses-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"wild sierra flora\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-12718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/totalescape.com\/outside\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/lilgorgesses-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/totalescape.com\/outside\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/lilgorgesses-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/totalescape.com\/outside\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/lilgorgesses-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/totalescape.com\/outside\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/lilgorgesses-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/totalescape.com\/outside\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/lilgorgesses.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fs.usda.gov\/recarea\/sierra\/recarea\/?recid=45502\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bretz Campground NFS<\/a><\/strong> is up here on the main road, number nine.
