Briefly about the general area:
Yeah, come up here to the Northern Sierra Nevada for a nice time. Sterling Lake Campground is a fine campground nearby, and a spree to
Meadow Spring will fill your spirit with glorious feelings. A visit to Pelham Flat revives the soul, and swing by Little Granite Creek it's a nice site to explore.
If you came for an overnight stay Cold Springs Campground is a delightful site to camp; Little Granite Canyon
is close by, and is a brilliant place. Take a side journey to Big Granite Creek, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Yuba River - South Fork. There's just no way someone can get bored here at Cherry Point Trail. Big Valley is right
here at Cherry Point Trail, and this is a popular place for folks from Truckee-Grass Valley.
Be careful coming to the Northern Sierra Nevada, you might not ever want to go back home again. There's whitewater on Yuba River - South Fork for all you adrenaline people, and don't leave Cherry Point Trail without first paying a visit to Tadpole Spring.
