Tipover (4W330)

Distance: 2.55 Miles
Running Time: Approx. 1 to 1.5 hours
Difficulty: Most Difficult

 

The Tipover trail connects the Tripod Flats Trail (4W307) to the String Trail (4W309).  As there are no direct ways to access the Tipover trail access must be made via another trail in the area.  Choices are:  Tripod Flats, Manastash Ridge or the Kaner trail combined with the Manastash Ridge trail.  Plan your day accordingly as running the Tipover trail combined with one of the other trails makes for a long day.

From the String trail the Tipover trail makes it's way down the east side of Manastash ridge to join the Tripod Flats trail.  Most of the trail winds through very tight forest only occasionally emerging to cross large rock fields.  Clearance is tight and the Tipover trail is not well suited for full size rigs.  At just about 2.5 miles in length, the trail can get a bit monotonous at times as it seams to go on forever but you tend to forget that you have just run 2 or 3 hours worth of trails just to get to it.  In actuality there are longer trails in the area.

In the summer expect a lot of dust and in the winter months lots of mud.

 
Getting There:  Follow directions for one of the above named trails in the area to access the Tipover trail
