Winding through a small portion of National Forest, Main Canyon is an easy, maintained dirt road that is part of the large Prospector Trail System winding through the West Desert. Pinyon and junipers line the trail, with occasional springs providing trickling water, green grass, and muddy spots, even in the heat of summer. These patches of mud are the most difficult part of the trail. Camping is available at Vernon Reservoir near the northern end of the forest boundary, where a developed campground borders the small and peaceful reservoir. Free, dispersed camping can be found further south if you do not need any amenities.
