Off-road, Camp & Hike Caruthers Canyon (Giant Ledge Mine), Mojave National Preserve, California
Surrounded by mountains rising over 7,500 feet, a botanical "island" of chaparral plants remains from wetter times of the past.
Hike 3 miles one way through one of the Mojave's most bontanically diverse areas: Conifers, oaks, and coastal chaparral plants including manzanita, yerba santa, ceanothus, and coffee berry decorate this route.
Primitive campsites are situated in a valley surrounded by jumbled rock.
From the intersection of Ivanpah and Morning Star Mine roads, drive 21 miles southeast on Ivanpah Road. Turn west on New York Mountain Road and continue for about 4.5 miles to a four-way intersection. Turn north and follow the road up into Caruthers Canyon.
High clearance and four-wheel drive recommended.
