Telegraph Line Trail also known as Trail FR42 is a moderate trail that will test your skills if you are newer to the trails but this is NOT a newbie trail for first timers.
Telegraph Line is a 13.4-mile point-to-point trail that runs one-way only, starting just off Bartlett Dam Road and ending at Horseshoe Lake Road near Horseshoe Dam. The route features a mix of dirt, decomposed granite, and sandy terrain, making for an engaging off-road experience.
Along the way, we will encounter seven named obstacles:
The Gatekeeper
Nosedive
Ben’s Big Rut
Samurai Turn
Airplane
Edge of the Earth
Mini Edge of the Earth
In addition to these, the trail offers a variety of other fun and challenging features that make it a favorite for many. We’ll plan to stop at the lake for lunch and a chance to cool off—don’t forget to pack snacks and water!
A 3 day permit is $10, a 6 month is $60 and an annual pass is $80. Be sure to purchase your pass before to head out and print a copy to show rangers if you are stopped. Click the link here to get your permit https://www.recreation.gov/activitypass/AP22844
