 Directions to Trailhead

The trailhead is near Mutau Flat, located on the Mt. Pinos Ranger District. After a rolling three miles, the trail drops steeply into Hot Springs Canyon. There is no water and little shade along the first seven miles of the trail. After 8.5 mile from the trailhead, a side trail leads into Hot Springs Creek. At .6 miles further, there is another camp and .4 mile further is Trail No.9. Prior to the June 1992 wilderness legislation, this was a popular motorcycle trail. It is now open only to horseback riders and hikers.
