This trail is open all year. On the rare occasions when it does snow, access to the Dagelma or French Gulch Trailheads may be difficult. There is poison oak along the trail at all times of the year, and ticks may be present during the warmer months. The road is paved to the trailheads, but there are no amenities and no potable water.
