Trail Overview

This is a scenic, easy-going dirt road to White Rocks. You'll encounter desert views, awesome granite rock climbing, shooting opportunities, and great camping sites. There is little to no cell reception. The trail can be slippery in the mud. Along this trail, you can find many offshoots and smaller trails to explore, though be respectful so as to not deviate on virgin soil. Subarus and other crossover vehicles should have no problem making it all the way to the end in dry conditions.

History

In the late 1800s, the Skull Valley was home to a group of Pacific Islanders called Iosepa. They had a town that you pass on the main road to hit the trail. Be sure to stop to look at the monument.
