Trail Overview

This Eastern access route for Sears Point is the more adventurous of the two ways to access the site. It begins at the east from South Agua Caliente road and heads west across the desert. It twists and turns its way through fields of Lava rock and loose, sandy, silty sections. A wire livestock gate needs to remain in the position it was found in. One camping spot near the western entrance was noticed, and it is a nice spot for a peaceful evening. Just be aware that this area is a known route for illegal border activity, and anything unusual should be reported to homeland security immediately. Be aware and stay safe. Otherwise, keep your eyes peeled for coyotes(the four-legged kind), desert foxes, tortoises, and snakes when the temperatures rise. There are three bars of Verizon LTE out here due to the proximity of Interstate 8. Paint damage guaranteed

DoNot attempt during or shortly after a good rain, wet decomposed lava is like grease! Trail is easy. less than100 ft elevation change. Paint damage mentioned in original trail entry is just minor from creosote bushs. 2 or 3 short stretches go slow over lava rock, not sharp edges. 2 wheel drive all the way. couldn't follow track exactly, it has moved, but new track easy to see.
