You need to turn left (SSE) at the intersection labeled “Short Wheelbase” to get to the names. The section labeled as “Valley of the Names” has no name markings on the ground. The correct trail is roughly 180 degrees from the “Valley of the Names” as marked on the OnX map. Once you get on the correct road, it is very evident and really cool! It is easily traveled by any stock pickup or vehicle with good clearance. 4x4 is not necessary.
