Sierra Grandstand Ride

sierra grandstand map View from start of ride second marker

There is a large sign showing the various points of interest along the route. The sign is located just as you turn right onto 4N29.

Facing the signboard, there is a dirt road going off to the right. Drive along this road a very short distance to see this landscape.

This is the type of marker to look for. Not all are easily visible.

The steepest part of the ride. You definitely need a 4-wheel drive vehicle here.
