Mazourka Canyon

Mazourka Canyon is a trail of moderate difficulty that lies to the east of CA-395 and offers astounding views of Owens Valley and the Sierra Nevada mountains. A 4×4 truck with decent tires would be needed for this trip, specifically the rocky and steep sections in the northern and central portions. I started this trail from the northern end by taking Death Valley Road to Forest Road 9S13. The southern end of this route starts from Mazourka Canyon Road just outside of Independence. I spent approximately six hours on the forty miles of trails that I drove through though I wish that I had spent several days out here. There are so many side routes and hiking trails out here that it would take weeks to go through it all. I can’t wait to see this land again.





It takes quite a while to upload over 200 photos. If you've enjoyed these you can find the rest on my blog page.

 

Nice job on the trip report. I’ll have to add this to my list of runs to do! How’s the weather up there right now? Can’t be to bad with snow on the mountains..

 

Thanks for sharing! Planning on doing the White Mtn. traverse.

 

I took these photos in May of 2017 so I'm no too sure right now.

You're welcome
