Chalk Bluff  (Burlington Ridge)

This area is located off Hwy. 20 and is accessible either via Grass Valley/Nevada City or Interstate 80.

From Nevada City, proceed east on Hwy. 20, past the observation area for the Diggings. After the entrance for the Omega Rest Area, go another 1.7 miles and turn left onto a dirt road. The campsite is 0.2 miles in a gravel clearing on the right; if the group is not there, continue about 0.1 miles further up the road on the left - see notes below.

-OR-

Take I-80 past Emigrant Gap; take the Hwy. 20 exit going back towards Nevada City/Marysville. As soon as you take the exit, check your odometer and proceed 8 miles and take a fairly sharp right turn onto gravel Road 20/16 through an unlocked green gate. This is "Last Chance Mine Road" but it is unmarked. The first campsite is 0.2 miles in a gravel clearing on the right. This spot should hold 8 rigs or so. If it is full, there is a better campsite available about 0.1 miles further up the road on the left (N39 degrees 18.95 minutes, W120 degrees 43.23 minutes, altitude 5,333 ft.). Watch for the green TBSA signs.

The primary OHV daytime staging area is located 2.9 miles further up Hwy. 20 on the left. The main staging area does not allow overnight camping, but does have maps and restroom facilities. This area offers miles and miles of nice, tight single-track and logging/mining-type roads. Note that all the trails and roads may be accessed with non-street legal bikes. Quads will have good riding on the dirt roads.
