Description

The trail starts at the intersection with Icehouse Canyon Trail #7W07A 0.9 miles from the trailhead and climbs a series of switchbacks north from the junction into Cedar Canyon where a seasonal spring flows. Cedar Glen Campground is about 1.3 miles from the junction. The trail continues for about 2.3 more miles, climbing out of Cedar Canyon then following a steady grade before rejoining Icehouse Canyon Trail #7W07A further east.

The Chapman Trail was built to replace a large section of the Icehouse Canyon Trail #7W07A but most forest users preferred the original route, so both are still maintained.

Thanks to John McKinney, The Trailmaster, for sharing this trail description. To learn more about trails in California, check out his guides at The Trailmaster Store.

Flora & Fauna

Oak, bigcone spruce, Jeffrey pine, sugar pine and white fir offer intermittent shade. Ceanothus, manzanita are the most common ground covers. Beautiful columbines and monkeyflowers around the spring.
