Climbing over a thousand feet in just under 3 miles along a shelf road, this route delivers dramatic and stunning views of valleys below from elevated vantage points. Spring transforms the landscape with amazing blooming wildflowers, creating spectacular displays. Stunning views unfold on both sides of Bird Spring Canyon, showcasing the geography. The Pacific Crest Trail goes through this area, where hikers journey from Mexico to Canada, so watch for them and consider stopping to offer food or drink to support their long trek. Various spots feature runoff ruts up to 12 inches deep, cutting across the shelf road.
