Directions:
From Hwy 49 in Nevada City, continue north west on Hwy 49 for about 8 miles to the trailhead parking area on the right side of the road. Hwy 49 makes a sharp left turn as you leave Nevada City (Hwy 20 goes straight at this point). If you reach the bridge over the South Yuba River, you went too far.
