Trail Overview

Starting from the historic Pony Express Route on the north, Flint Springs Road stretches southward, hugging the contours of the Keg Mountains. As you navigate this trail, the terrain showcases rugged rock formations and wide-open desert vistas, creating a striking backdrop for your journey. The road itself is primarily dirt and gravel, suitable for vehicles with high clearance and off-road capabilities, especially as you explore the various side roads that branch off into more remote areas.
