The out-and-back course starts about 18 miles north of Kernville, near Johnsondale Bridge. The first 15 miles lead up Sherman Pass, at 9,200 feet the highest point. On the way to 9 Mile Canyon the route passes Blackrock Station and Kennedy Meadows. The turnaround point is Highway 395 in the Mojave Desert, at 3,000 feet also the lowest point.
