The Burma Road is also known as the Briceburg or Bull Creek Road and immediately starts to climb along a steep road that is basically one lane wide with switchbacks that takes you up the hill. It is also called the Burma Grade. As you climb, you have incredible views of the Merced River, Briceburg, the suspension bridge, and Hwy 140. Besides hikers, high clearance 4 wheelers, motorcycles and mountain bikers also use this road. The road can have washouts, slides and deep ruts, closing it some years but when it is open, I understand you can get to Greeley Hill or Buck Meadows from Briceburg.
If I were to continue going straight, there is a bunch of country I could visit and I hope to explore more of this area some day.
But I took the road to the right. I had been up this road a little ways a few years back and had seen a lot of dozer work on fuel breaks and old fire breaks. I wasn’t sure what shape the road would be in but if things worked perfectly I could follow this set of roads out and loop back to the top of Burma Grade. And if it wasn’t in the cards, I would turn around and come back the same way I came in, all good exercise.
