Overview

Smarts Ranch Road travels through an interesting mix of Pine and Joshua trees, providing several locations along the way for camping, hanging a hammock, or just pulling over into a clearing and enjoying the quiet forest solitude. The last three miles at the southeastern end of the trail provide a driving challenge over rough, exposed rock outcroppings for those wanting to test their offroad driving skills.
