Location
MUSHROOM ROCK LOOP
Hike begins in Quail Springs picnic parking area among classic stacked boulders. Going west we view Mt. Minerva Hoyt while hiking over the skillful craftsman constructed rock steps on the Johnny Lang Connector trail. This hike’s destination is a masterpiece of weather shaped desert geology. Mushroom Rock area offers special photographic opportunities. In this isolated and beautiful place, mysteries abound. We’ll visit artifacts from past mining days and view a series of rock walls which remain a mystery of the desert. Park rangers suggest miners may have constructed them as well.
