BACKCOUNTRY & 4X4

Posted by Last Chance Rand on September 30, 2001 at 23:33:04:

(10 miles)

The road begins two miles east of Furnace Creek Inn along Highway 190. The road tends to have deep gravel and is quite rocky 3 miles from the highway (4X4 required). The Needle's Eye, a natural arch, is located within the canyon narrows. The Inyo Mine is up the right fork 9 miles in and contains several old structures and remnants of mining equipment. The left fork continues past other old mines eventually becoming very rough 4x4 and exiting the park in Nevada. No Camping First 2 Miles.

Difficulty Rating:  Right Fork = 2;  Left Fork = 3
