someone, you can walk it just one way. Backpacking here in the Northern Sierra Nevada is the best way to enjoy these hills.
Briefly about the general area:
Life's too short to enjoy all the cool stuff in the Northern Sierra Nevada. Lindsey Campground is a great local
campground, and a quick spree to South Fork Canyon Creek is absolutely a fine idea. Loney Meadow is a brilliant place to check out, and it's a good idea to stop at Jackson Creek.
A visit to Poison Canyon is always fun, and if you come at the right time of year, Fordyce Creek
offers some splendid whitewater. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Yuba River - South Fork, and there are plenty of folks from Truckee-Grass Valley here. Whohoo, so much fun stuff in one place! Bowman Mountain Trail is great! Bowman Mountain Trail is a good site to visit for more than one day, McMurray Campground is a good site to camp nearby.
