There was a road built in the 1920's? that went from Lee
Flat down into San Lucas Canyon and into the Saline Valley.
The road is washed out in the canyon except for a
portion that was blasted out of a cliff face to traverse a 200
to 300 foot waterfall. This still remains and even has a
regiter for hikers to sign similar to those found on summits
of peaks. It is a great hike and was a great 4X4
trail until the Park Service took over. It is amazing to see
the effort that went into building this road. A few
years ago I dropped some friends off at the top
of San Lucas Canyon, they hiked down the waterfall
and out to the Saline Valley, across the dry lake
to the Springs SEVERAL hours later. The springs
never felt better.
