Trail: Little Pines Loop to Vetter Mountain

Description: From the northern parking area at Chilao, follow the Silver Moccasin Trail south (toward Charlton Flats) from the trailhead at the parking area (note: the trailhead across from the parking area leads to Mt. Hillyer). At the fire road, turn left and continue heading south to Charlton Flats. At the gate, follow the road by turning left (east). There will be signs pointing the way toward the continuation of the Silver Moccasin Trail. Don’t worry if you miss the signs, both the road and the Silver Moccasin Trail lead to Vetter Mountain Road. At Vetter Mountain Road, turn right (west) and follow that to Vetter Mountain. Return the same way.
