BACKCOUNTRY & 4X4

Posted by Last Chance Rand on September 30, 2001 at 23:43:04:

(22 miles to Teakettle Junction; 28 miles to the Racetrack)

The road begins at Ubehebe Crater and ends at the Racetrack playa, an ancient lakebed famous for its „moving rocksİ. Although this road is often passable to 2-wheel-drive, conditions can vary. Beyond the Racetrack, the Lippencott Mine Road is still severely washed out. From Teakettle Junction, a road leads south and west through Hidden Valley, over Hunter Mountain, and finally to Highway 190. No Camping Along Racetrack Road.

Difficulty Rating:  2
