EMHT Segment 4: Fenner to Needles

Trail Overview

This is leg 4 of 4 to complete the entire East Mojave Heritage Trail (EMHT), a meandering and comprehensive tour of the Mojave Desert. Terrain will vary in this segment but is mostly hard pack. The scenery will change between wide-open desert expanses, awesome canyons with unique geologic features, a rugged rock garden, and a return to canyon and wash that is Eagle Pass, finishing at your original starting point in Needles at the El Garces train station. On this leg, panoramic views, rugged terrain, and remote territory await the EMHT explorer. A mailbox is placed in a remote location along the route to sign in. This segment is BLM land, so dispersed camping is allowed anywhere along the trail.
