Trail Information
Highlights
A drive down Mule Canyon Road provides a visual feast of interesting shapes and colorful landscapes. Wonderful dispersed camping locations are abundant along the trail for a great evening getaway to enjoy the sunrise and sunsets that light up the Calico Mountains. Camping here serves as a staging point to explore the many BLM trails of the Calico Mountains and view the extensive silver mining that once drove the area's economy. Be sure to visit the nearby restored Calico Ghost Town.
The trail was used in the 2004 "Kill Bill 2" movie. Moving 1.3 miles east into the trail, a flat, dusty box canyon off to the west was the location for Budd's (Michael Madsen) trailer.

We drove the trail today (Sunday 4/30). It was a great run. The middle third was more narrow, but there were plenty of places to let someone pass. About six different groups were target shooting along the route. They were all safely shooting away from the trail, but always be vigilant around what becomes down range. A high clearance 2wd would be OK,and a Suburu would likely be OK too.

An access trail that has a mix of hard pack, mud hills, and sand.

An easy trail (road) that leads into the heart of Calico... and more fun/challenging trails.

Very fun, easy trail -- great bang for your buck cruising through some interesting scenery. A great add-on side trip if you are visiting the Ghost Town for the day. Give yourself an extra hour or so if you decide to add this trail to the end of your day and connect to the 15 on your way home.

Fun little trail. Ran it in a stock Bronco Sport on the way home from the dealer! Look forward to coming back because there were lots of other trails in the area that we didn’t have time for.
