The first mile is an easy stroll going through the meadow, where some of the episodes of “Little House on the Prairie”, the famous Michael Landon’s television creation, were filmed.
After crossing a bridge, you begin a steep climb on a trail, that is wide and carved out of the mountainside, right after the Relief Dam was being constructed in the early 1900’s. Later on another bridge and steep climb takes you past an old P G and E building.
Not far away you find the area around the dam. While continuing on the hiking trail, along the hillside high, above the reservoir, you turn onto a use trail to reach the dam.
