Location

Main Features:

This map connects the Tahoe to Yosemite Trail route with fairly short route from a trailhead off of Clarks Ford Road to the end of Spicer Meadow Reservoir.

This is a fairly short and easy way into the Wilderness and onto the Tahoe to Yosemite Trail.

It's also the way into a short backpacking out to Lost and Sword Lakes, maybe even on to the Campsites out at the end of Spicer Meadow Reservoir and back to the County Line Trailhead.

Here's an interesting description of the hike up to Dardanelles Cone from the end of the dirt road out of the Clarks Fork:
