Running through the West Desert, Ericson Knoll is an occasionally maintained dirt and gravel road wrapping around its namesake feature. This trail connects Ericson Pass to the Weiss Highway in a different location, acting as a "scenic alternate" to completing Ericson Pass to the south. Although the majority of this trail runs through BLM land, no camping is observed directly off of the trail. However, many spurs heading into the small side canyons have a few dispersed options. This trail is also part of the large Prospector Trail Network, providing opportunities for an extended overland journey through the mining history of the West Desert.
