Casper Little Lake Road 409

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This small stretch of road turns to dirt for a relatively short distance (2.3km), although it is very flat with a beautiful stretch of trees, making the climb well worth the effort. As you continue, the route T’s into Little Lake Road, where you can choose from two options. Turning right continues the loop, descending back to Mendocino, although the road can be somewhat rough at times, or, it is the perfect spot to turn around and re-experience the beautiful scenery again.
