Big Valley Ranger District

Big Valley Ranger District, crescent shaped, encompasses a portion of the Modoc National Forest north, east and south of the town of Adin, CA.  The lower elevation of this Ranger District allows campgrounds to open earlier in the spring and close later in the fall.

The beautiful Red Tail Rim Trail is something that this district boasts about.  A shared trail by hikers, mountain bikers and equestrian units, this unique trail covers some 20 plus miles of the back-country.
