Itinerary description
The road to the Sailor Flat trail head is dirt after you turn off paved Foresthill Road. My maps show the trailhead is 1 mile from Foresthill Road and there is a small parking area there, but you can drive an additional 1.5 miles if you want to skip walking along a dusty road and have the appropriate vehicle and skills. That first mile does not need four wheel drive but a pickup or SUV is a good idea for ground clearance.
If you are comfortable driving steep dirt roads with large water bars, you can make a left at the destroyed sign and proceed another mile and a half and 700’ elevation loss to the real trail head that has a larger parking area. A stock Tahoe scraped bottom on the water bars a number of times and the four wheel drive came in handy in some loose dirt.
