Beautiful hiking area. It's in the Carr fire burnt area but you can see lots of new growth and new life in the area

Hike, bike, horseback riding, you can do everything out here. No place to get water, so bring your own. There are 2 bathrooms, 1 at the lower parking lot, 1 at the back lot, vault toilets but usually clean. No camping. Couple of purpose build mountain bike jump trails and flow trails, there are maps at both lots as well. Even a bike repair station with tools and a pump at the lower lot!

Yes it is open 24/7 but only camping areas are in the front of the area so I would not recommend leaving your vehicle anywhere beyond the first parking lot overnight if you are camping.

Are the trails open to bikers after it rains?

Unfortunately, they are still closed. Those are a high priority area to take care of right now, and those should be open soon.

I wouldn't recommend leaving a vehicle here overnight at all, but if you are going to caml I would park in the front parking lot as its in view of a house and more people there, but its still possible. The more popular this place gets the more likely your vehicle will get broken into.
