About this trail
A separate eastbound 4WD route from the Poker Flat area, using the designated Canyon Creek connection and Gibraltar trail 10E19. Expect steep, rough mountain terrain and use a capable high-clearance 4WD vehicle. Follow both the Plumas and Tahoe motor vehicle use maps, as the route crosses the forest boundary. The pin marks the mapped motor-trail reference near Poker Flat, not a mine entrance or guaranteed parking.

Before you go
- Check current access and vehicle rules with the operator before traveling.
- Use the current Plumas and Tahoe motor vehicle maps together: Canyon Creek 10M05 and its short spur 10M05A connect the Poker Flat area toward the Tahoe 10E19 route
- The Tahoe 10E19 section has an April 1-December 31 motor-use season. Plumas 10M05 and 10M05A have year-round legal motor designations, which do not guarantee snow-free or passable travel
- This is a rough 4WD route. Carry suitable recovery equipment, check conditions with the ranger districts and turn back when weather or road conditions make travel unsafe
- Stay on designated motor routes and respect private parcels, mine workings, historic sites, gates and current closures. Permission on the trail does not include exploring mine shafts or nearby tracks
- The sole original image is a historical topographic sketch showing the east continuation. Preserve it as history and use current agency maps for navigation and access; the existing southern Poker Flat guide covers a different approach
