Antelope Springs Road

This winding road connects Owens River Road with the paved section of Antelope Springs Road which connects to Highway 203. Antelope Springs Road starts in LAWP land. It passes the Magma Geothermal plant. Then it enters Inyo National Forest where it climbs 300 feet. Then drops almost 500 feet. The road is mostly fine sandy dirt. There are many uneven sections, tree roots, holes, and small rocks. The forest service does grade the road at times. It can be rougher in the spring right after the snow melts and later in the season from heavy use. There are various sections where the trail runs along cliffs. These spots are wide enough for two vehicles to pass but can be bumpy and rough. Use caution, especially in winter. It eventually comes out to open farm meadows on the East section. It does give stunning views of the valleys below as well as the Eastern Sierra and White Mountains.
