(22 miles)

This 68-miles of mostly dirt road at the Ubehebe Crater road to the south, then continues north to Crankshaft Junction. Here the road turns west, up and over the Last Change Range via Hanging Rock Canyon, into the Eureka Valley. The road continues west up and over the Inyo Mountains until its junction with Highway 168, just five miles north of Big Pine. There are no services along this route, and there can be large washouts in the Eureka Valley. No camping along this road.
