Varmint Camp Trail #1070 is a pleasant hike or bike ride for a hot summer's day. The trail passes through a thick deciduous forest lined with big-leaf maple, and ends in an old-growth forest of Shasta red fir. Beginning on Forest Rd. #6205, the trail climbs gradually for the first 1 mile, traversing Varmint Creek. At present, creek crossings do not have bridges; expect to get wet and muddy. Use special caution at high water as crossing may become hazardous. After crossing the creek, the trail climbs steeply for 1.5 miles through a dense conifer forest. The trail crosses a mountain meadow filled with wild onion. A good display of wildflowers may be seen in this area in mid-summer. Caution should be exercised if using a motorcycle or bike on this trail. The tread is narrow and rocky in places. The trail ends on Forest Rd. #830. The trail is 3.1 miles with elevations of 3600 to 5400 feet and is considered to be moderately difficult.
