Black Canyon

This 2.5-mile trail leaves the valley floor and heads up the Black Canyon where it rises over 1,250 feet. The dirt road quickly turns into a very rocky path. The first real obstacle is crossing a long rocky wash. High clearance is recommended from this point forward. The rock walls surrounding the canyon start to rise. On the last mile, you drop into a very rocky area. The trail can be off-camber in many sections. The trail "ends" as it becomes very narrow and only accessible by very high-clearance specialized 4x4 vehicles. The views of the Eastern Sierra going back down the grade are stunning.
