BACKCOUNTRY & 4X4

(30 miles)

This road branches west off the Harry Wade Road, 12 miles north of Highway 127. This is a well groomed road, maintained by AT&T for access to the microwave tower at the road's deadend. This remote route provides access to Owl Hole Spring and the Black Magic Mine, and hiking access to Owl Lake, Lost Lake, the Epsom Salt Works, and Wingate Wash. This route skirts Fort Irwin Training Center, so be aware of unexploded ordinance here.

Difficulty Rating:  2
