About This Trail

Imported description

This cross-country adventure will take you to a high-desert volcanic cone to search for strange box canyons. "There is no trail at all." This is a cross country route over sand and rock. This is an adventure without a trail. If you are not familiar with cross-country travel, you might not like the hike on Black Point. If you have a basic sense of direction, a compass isn't necessary. Bring water and a hat when bushwhacking.
