Bridging the gap between Red Rock-Inyokern Road and Trail 86B, Opal Canyon Road is a relatively smooth sandy trail, with only a few washboards to worry about along the drive. The trail is wide most of the way and a quick travel, giving you access to Opal Trail and many of the other trail options within Red Rock Canyon State Park. Although not a destination of its own, you are sure to travel this smooth sand at some point if you are looking to avoid pavement and travel as much of the park as possible. Since the trail is contained within Red Rock Canyon State Park, camping is not permitted along the trail. The only available camping within the park is at the Ricardo Campground across CA-14 near the state park visitors center.
