Scissors Crossing offers some great shade after a hot section through the hot desert. Trail magic like water caches can be expected. It is also the best location to hitch into the town of Julian or to the Stage Coach RV Resort. For a better chance to get a ride, go to the junction of Highway 78 and Great Southern Overland Route.
This underpass offers protection on very stormy nights. Trail anglers occasionally bring supplies. The intersection is also a good way to get to Julian with a lift.
