We were in a tan FJC. We parked right by the locked gate at the top of the road to the mine. We almost went to Los Hermanos for dinner as well. I have drank many a beer their. Abe the owner is a great guy. I grew up with his kids. What were you guys driving?

White 80 rhino lined up the doors...

How essential are lockers to get to these places? Wouldn't mind going out on a test run with you some time Phil.

Lockers are not required to get to the Apache Tears parking area, other areas pictured in the post not as easy.

You could of easily made it, I didnt leave until 1Pm. I cover a lot of terrain solo or with one vehicle in a short amount of time. Let me know when you want to go back there is lots more to see with a nice camp spot.
170 total miles
40 dirt

So I went out to these places today, looking for some good campsites to take the Scouts to. Is there any road access to that canyon, or just to the overlooks? I ran the two roads past the Apache Tears gate/monstrous-boulder location in my '03 100 without even airing down. Was on a tight timeline, and had 2 daughters with me. The cliff overlook and the lower road that loops back north to the west of the gate are both narrow, rocky, and have limited space at the ends for camping. Would like to get down to the creek to the south, but may have to hoof it?

Edit -> looks like Arnett Creek, accessible from Telegraph Canyon Rd.
