EP 499 travels primarily north-south, connecting the Bonanza Trail with Bickel Camp, labeled as EP 30. The road surface is a mix of dirt and loose lava rock, making it rough in spots, but it is suitable for any high-clearance vehicle. As you travel, the trail will go up and over an open and flat playa area. This is good for dispersed camping and offers 360-degree views. Near Bonanza's boom area, there are a few scattered ruins and an old well to see along the way.
