Devil's Den Trailhead

The Devil's Den trailhead is located at the southeastern boundary of the Ishi Wilderness. It is the southern terminus of the Deer Creek Trail South and follows a ridgeline north by Graham Pinery before turning to meet up at the Deer Creek South Trailhead. The best access is from Ponderosa Way. Due to continuing ecological processes, Ponderosa Way in that area is only accessible by a narrow, high clearance 4x4 vehicle. 

 

Current Conditions
This dispersed trailhead is generally always open to the public. The area is not maintained, use at your discretion.
