Red Rock Canyon State Park: Trail Run Scouting

im going to request time off and try to make this... should be a cool run. Anyone down to camp?

 

that whole area is bitcing! great views, great scenery.. nothing extreme, just a whole lot of great times being on the trails out there. i been there quite a bit over the years and never get tired of that whole region. i might try and show up..but we'll see

if you arent considering this run maybe you should think twice about it lol

here are some pics of the area that should get everyone excited, if you know the area well enough or willing to explore there is plenty to see..










here's a video of me from Jawbone State Park that's literally across the street from Red Rock State Park

That's an older picture. I got around to putting the California State Park logo on that sign about three years ago.

If anyone is going to camp, it is probably going to be pretty cold at night. The only place to camp inside Red Rock Canyon State Park is the Ricardo Campground, which is $25 a night. If you camp out on BLM land (Jawbone Canyon or Dove Springs) it is free, but there are no facilities.

 

that picture was taking June of 2008

i rarely pay for camp grounds..don't mind camping in the middle of nowhere and neither does my chick

 

Same here. While I understand the point of a campground, I don't like to use them. My wife and I enjoy open camping away from any sign of civilization.

The point of my previous post was mostly to let people know that open camping is not allowed in the state park. Some jackass ranger romping a Chevy Colorado might come along and write you a fat ticket.

 

I am not sure I can go. I really want to but I need to be back home by 2:30 pm and its about a 2 hour drive.

If we went on Saturday I could go.

I'm really bummed. I love the trails in this area.

 

I'll be there a few days early.Check out on Monday.
Anyone care to do some trails?

 

DIRECTIONS:

Head north on Highway 14. It doesn't matter where you are coming from, just get on Highway 14 and head north. Red Rock Canyon is approximately 20 miles north past the town of Mojave.

Once you see this sign:


Continue heading north on Highway 14 for another 3.5 miles. You will see this sign on the right side of the road.


Once you see this sign, slow down and turn right (not left like the arrow suggests) and meet up with me in the dirt area found right off the road. I will be there early, maybe by 9:15AM, waiting for everyone.

 

This sounds like fun and looks beautiful out there. Add me to the list. Phlip4x4Sport, with wife and child (and possibly a friend in a Jeep.)

 

Added.

 

Glad you came out.I was a pleasure meeting you 3.

 

End of trail run with photos here.

 

I am going to this place soon. Can anyone recommend trails where I'd be ok with a prerunner?

 

@Thesandaddict

 

Yes. Almost every trail there that i saw is prerunner accessible

 

Thanks dude!
