Hero: Point of Rocks
small-sr Icon

While crossing the remote San Rafael Desert, only a few landmarks help guide you across the seemingly endless flats. At the southern end of a red sandstone escarpment is the Point of Rocks, a prominent point of red boulders. 4345 is a short sand and rock trail that leads out and back to the uniquely shaped rock hiking area. The trail requires 4x4 for deep sandy washouts and soft sand that is impassable in 2WD. No established campsites were found, but there are small patches of sand near the end where a vehicle can park and set up a tent for the night. The trail's northern end is washed out and impassable to all vehicles.
