Overview

Nestled between Goat Mountain and West Ord Mountain, Quill Springs Lookout offers one of the most breathtaking views of Stoddard Valley. The 5,078-foot overlook is reached by a rugged desert trail that winds through a secluded canyon, where a hidden spring has quenched the thirst of weary travelers and wildlife for centuries. Along the way, remnants of old mining camps and ancient petroglyphs whisper stories of the past. Towering canyon walls, striking rock formations, and sweeping vistas make this trail an unforgettable journey through time and nature.
