BACKCOUNTRY & 4X4

(7 miles to Minnieta Mine Road; 14 miles to the Wildrose Road)

This road paralells the paved Panamint Valley Road, but across the playa along the east shore. Northern access is from Highway 190; midway access is via Minneta Mine Road, and southern access is from the Wildrose Road. Generally, the road is easily passable; but there are lots and lots of minor washouts that require 4x4. Near the Wildrose Road there are some very deep washouts that call for rock stacking.

Difficulty Rating:  2
