Hero: Snow White Perlite Mine
small-sr Icon

Named for the route that once led to the historic Snow White Perlite Mine, this trail winds through the rugged terrain of the Hewitt Station OHV area. The mine, a small surface operation, reached peak production in the 1940s—turning out nearly 200 tons of perlite per day. Today, the mine stands silent, but the trail that bears its name offers a lively mix of rocky surfaces, mild climbs, and connecting routes that make it ideal for a full day of wheeling.

Along the way, you’ll be treated to scenic views of the inner Hewitt Station valleys and striking stone formations that define this corner of the desert. At the southern end, the terrain opens up into a couple of large, flat camping areas, perfect for larger groups or overnight stays before tackling the next trail in the network.
