Lake Sterling, Northern Sierra Nevada, Nevada County, California

Michael Hald:
The road up to Lake Sterling is 4x4 only with sheer cliffs in some spots with shale rock that wants to slide out from under your tires.  I saw a well equipped 4x4 truck attempt the road and have half of the rock road crumble away underneath the truck like a mini avalanche.  It took until the following week to get the truck out of the canyon, but only took 2 hours for the medivac chopper to get there. Don't bring a trailer, definitely do bring spare tires and plenty of water if you do get stuck.  No Verizon cell service out there either.
