5 Deer Trail is an old classic that is nestled in Bouquet Canyon. Most people park just off Bouquet Canyon on a dirt road called Martindale Ridge Road at the dirt parking lot and then will climb the approx. 5 mile climb up Martindale Ridge Road to the ridge line and head east to the trailhead making 5 Deer a primarily (but not completely c) a descent.

5 Deer has been in need of trail maintenance for quite some time. There has been some efforts towards improvement. There is Poison Oak on the trail and the trail is last noted as overgrown.
