From McCall, travel north on Warren Wagon Road for 14.5 miles. Turn right onto Forest Road 432. Take the left fork at the first junction and the right fork at the second. The trail leaves the road to the right about 5 miles in. The trail can also be accessed from the Fall Creek Saddle Trail #108.
Crestline Trail is a really tough ride and I use the term ride loosely. This is a motorcycle trail that is torn all up and has really steep climbs that are super loose. I would seriously question anyone who says they have ridden the whole trail. That is ridden, not walking sections. I don't believe it can be done. That being said... if you don't mind hiking a bunch this trail offers some amazing scenery! Several parts of the trail are really fun. Wild life is abundant and you are not likely to see many people. We passed a few hunters on dirt bikes, 2 hikers and not a single other mountain bike. We climbed up above 8000 feet and over some solid granite peaks. The trail gets hard to follow but thankfully there are markings painted on the rock (much like Moab) and cairns guiding your way.

Hard- long ride. Get ready to hike your bike. Major parts of the trail not cleared. Lots of down trees. Otherwise amazing full day ride. Shuttle recommended. Start at north end
