Fordyce Creek Trail is a legitimate Sierra test piece — steep granite slabs, multiple deep water crossings, and exposed shelf road combine in the Tahoe National Forest to create one of Northern California's most demanding 4WD routes. Often run as a two-day trip with camping along the way, it rewards preparation and punishes improvisation. A close neighbor to the Rubicon and equally serious.
