That road intersects Hwy 395 about 4.8 road miles south of Bridgeport, CA. The GC Road is gravel and okay for normal clearance 2WD vehicles when dry. It does have some rough spots depending on how long it's been since it was last graded. The driving distance on this road to the trailhead parking lot is about 8.7 miles. The small tent only campground at the end of the road was closed for the winter but there are a lot of dispersed campsites in the State Wildlife Area spread along Green Creek for several miles.
The hike proceeds up the trail with several switchback sections quickly gaining enough altitude to provide scenic views. The Fall colors of the many Aspen along this trek were at their peak making this a very scenic time of year for this hike. This made the 5th time I've hiked this section to Green Lake and I never tire of it. |
