Middle Fork of the Feather Rive Road, T22N. R9E. Section 17. The trail crosses the Middle Fork of the Feather River by way of a bridge completed in 1980. It parallels Onion Creek for a short distance before starting the long climb out of the canyon. The trail climbs steadily, switch backing occasionally, and continues to climb after crossing a ridge and going through an extensive stand of canyon live oak. 2.0 miles from the Middle Fork of the Feather River the Dogwood Creek Road is crossed. The trail continues to climb with frequent views of the Dogwood Creek Road and visual evidence of logging. Several abandoned logging spur roads are crossed. After 3.2 miles, the two lane dirt Sawmill Tom Creek Road is crossed. On the next 2.2 miles the trail continues to climb following skid trails and abandoned spur roads with evidence of logging in view.
