Overview

A drive down Mule Canyon Road provides a visual feast of interesting shapes and colorful landscapes. Wonderful dispersed camping locations are abundant along the trail for a great evening getaway to enjoy the sunrise and sunsets that light up the Calico Mountains. Camping here serves as a staging point to explore the many BLM trails of the Calico Mountains and view the extensive silver mining that once drove the area's economy. Be sure to visit the nearby restored Calico Ghost Town.

The trail was used in the 2004 "Kill Bill 2" movie. Moving 1.3 miles east into the trail, a flat, dusty box canyon off to the west was the location for Budd's (Michael Madsen) trailer.
