Panguitch has a hospital. A high clearance vehicle is recommended. Get Adobe Acrobat. Let's start at Pine Lake for those choosing the long version. Head out from the reservoir and ride 6 miles up Pine Canyon on FR 132 to the crest of the Table Cliff Plateau.
Directions are that simple.
But the climb can be more difficult. At times the road can be coated with coarse limestone gravel that is transported during sudden rains from the sparsely vegetated slopes across the road. As the climb progresses, the road steepens and may be rocky and rutted. You have fleeting glimpses of the Table Cliff Plateau's salmon-hued cliffs as ponderosa pines meld with spruce and fir higher up. Those opting for the short version will park and embark here.
