Car Wreck Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This trail is named 'Car Wreck Trail' due to the 1964 Dodge coupe seemingly placed there out of the sky. Being that there are no roads near by, the cars location remains a mystery.

Tip by

3.95 km

Dripping Cave (Robbers Cave)

Highlight • Cave

The Dripping Cave! In the wet months, there can be enough water to "drip" if not flow in spots. And you never know what wildlife may be in the area.

Tip by

5.52 km

Mathis Canyon Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Mathis Canyon Trail is a steady decline (or incline depending on your direction). It is a well trafficked trail meaning the vegetation isn't too overgrown.
