Red Mountain OHV trailhead, Sierra National Forest, Shaver Lake area, CA
About this trail
Seasonally closed as of November 9, 2026. Mirror Lake and Strawberry Lake are separate branches from the Red Mountain trailhead. Follow the Strawberry Lake route 26E214; the Mirror Lake branch 26E216 turns north before West Lake. Mirror has steep, off-camber sections and is rated most difficult by the Forest Service. Strawberry is rocky despite its easier local rating. The motorized season is June 15–November 1, subject to current closures and conditions. Both routes are outside that season as of November 9, 2026. Stay on designated routes and check with the High Sierra Ranger District before visiting. The original map is a historical reference. From Highway 168 north of Shaver Lake, take 8S10, then 8S42 to the Red Mountain trailhead. The map pin marks the shared trailhead, not the Highway 168 turnoff.
