Driving Directions to
Taboose Pass Trailhead

GENERAL NOTES:

• for overall context, please see the Hwy 395 overview (look for waypoint 395TAB)
• popup local area map showing Big Pine south to Lone Pine (look for waypoint 395TAB)
• Related GPS waypoints in Waypoint+ format (NAD83, decimal degrees)
  with descriptive comments, in a popup window.

Leave Hwy 395 about 15 miles north of Independence or 12 miles south of Big Pine, on Aberdeen Station Road (waypoint 395TAB). This waypoint is not where Taboose Creek Road hits Hwy 395 a bit further south. Drive due west, crossing Tinimaha Road (waypoint TABTIN) where there may be a bit of a northern jog and suddenly you're on Taboose Creek Road.

In 1999 the road was rocky but passenger cars were barely making it to the trailhead. There are no facilities and not much traffic, but there is a nice stream to wash up in on your way out. It's a low-altitude trailhead (5400' elevation) and there's not much shade, so it's often hot. Early starts are advisable.
