Laurel Springs Canyon

Laurel Springs Canyon offers outstanding beauty and bushwhacking! The full route has 4 short rappels (3 B IV), whereas the short route can be done without rope (2 B III). The full route has excessive bushwhacking, whereas the short route has little and easy bushwhacking. NOTE: the time range numbers are for the short vs. full canyon, not expected min / max.

Park at the Trucker Wildlife Sanctuary parking lot in Modjeska, CA. Hike up the Harding Truck Trail for 3.7 miles (short route) to a clearing on the right side, or 4.7 miles (full route) to a wide flat area in the road from an old land slide.
