Wheeled in with some friends for a few nights. Our group never winched or had to pull each other out. But we saw other groups pulled each other out. Better to bring recovery gears. Be mindful for the brand of recovery equipment because using recovery gears is not a joke, it's very dangerous so choose a high quality brand. Like miolle recovery brand, for me that brand is proven and tested. A spotter is definitely needed. Completed the trail in 2 days, camped at Buck Island one night.

We were there, supporting the control of a forest fire. They are very beautiful places, which are affected by this terrible phenomenon.

Questions & Answers

I'm planing in going to take my kids up to play in snow feb17-19th is there snow up there

Roger Storment | Oct 9, 2018
Adam Kaplan | Oct 9, 2018

Current snow levels are dismal. The resorts make their own "snow" but elsewhere, lower elevations are practically dry. I was up there the last weekend in January. This warm stretch isn't going to help and if there is a big storm, expect it to be busy since everyone in the Bay will be there (like last weekend).

How do you go target shooting there?

Jose Tamayo | Oct 8, 2021
Aaron Marantz | Oct 8, 2021

Here's a link to the rules for target shooting in El Dorado. Basically, know where you are, and what you're shooting at. Shoot paper targets into dirt, no shooting trees. Don't leave behind casings or broken glass, they do fine heavily for that. https://www.fs.usda.gov/activity/eldorado/recreation/otheractivities/?recid=71008&actid=106

Do they ever update their website with current information ? Boots on the ground says most of the info. is inaccurate or out of date ! BEWARE !

Leroy McGerkle | Oct 9, 2018

Hey Dan, they have a person on the payroll who is a "Public Info.Officer" a couple of clicks on with a mouse ? Hardly a fiscal impact. What is the purpose of the website if not accurate. Especially in this age of "Fake News" our President talks about. Go ahead drive over to Ellis Rd. Yourself for a look see.
