Trailhead for Barrett Lake
Barrett Lake is a fun trail located about 35 miles east of Placerville and north of Highway 50. This 4 mile one way in and one way out Jeep trail had been know for being one of the tough ones in the Eldorado National Forest. There is a 72" gate at the entrance to prevent oversized rigs from accessing the trail.
About 100 ft. from the gate, you come across a rock garden that serves as a gate keeper. If you have troubles here, you might want to consider turning back.
Bridge over Jones Fork Silver Creek
Unfortunately with our late start we didn't make it to the Lake.
On our way back we broke off a valve stem and had to put on our spare tire.
Fixing the valve stem the hard way
We need to have a spare tire for the Rubicon Trail tomorrow.
