Just Outstanding trail is open. You will find JO a bit altered from your last ride on this remarkable trail because of burn scars from the French Fire in 2021 that burned portions of this popular downhill trail. We think it's still a great ride!
Join us in our restoration efforts to #ReGrowJO.

Care-for-It
Recreating responsibly includes packing trash bags to leave our wild spaces cleaner than you found them. There is a glass ban in the Sequoia National Forest, so remember to use plastic storage containers, ziploc bags, or bota bags for camping gear and kitchen supplies instead of glass. Practice Leave No Trace principles and pack out what you pack in. See more Kern River camping tips.
