Trail Description:
To reach this trailhead, take Highway 518 south, past the turn off for Highway 75, approximately 13 more miles past the fork. Watch on the right (southern) side of the highway for Forest Road 161. Take the Forest Road to the end, that is the Serpent Lake Trailhead.
This trail climbs from Serpent Lake Trailhead located at the end of Forest Road 161 to the Jicarita Peak Ridge then descends 1,000 feet in elevation into the East Fork of the Rio Santa Barbara drainage. The 1,000 foot drop into the drainage is steep and difficult. This is basically a fire road for the snowshoe, beware it is a multi-use area and you will likely see 4-wheelers and motorcycles.
