BACKCOUNTRY & 4X4

(25 miles)

This rough 4x4 road begins at Saline Valley Hot Springs and slowly climbs northeast to the top of Steel Pass. The road continues across a high plateau, then decends Dedeckera Canyon to the magnificant Eureka Sand Dunes. This is a very remote and rugged region of Park that is best travelled with more than one vehicle. Longer-wheelbase vehicles may find the canyon challenging. The Eureka Sand Dunes giant in size, quietly nestled against the picturesque Last Chance Range.

Difficulty Rating:  3
