Temescal Tin Mine Trail travels through the heart of Eagle Valley, an area just east of the Lake Matthews reservoir. This trail is mostly hard-packed dirt with deeply-rutted sections that have formed after heavy rains. Vehicles with 2WD or AWD and high clearance will be able to drive the trail during the dry season. But, after a good rain, even lifted 4WD vehicles should think twice before attempting the trail, as some of the muddy ruts can quickly bury you up to your frame. Aside from the entertainment this twisting and rutted trail provides, there are also multiple old mines and remains of buildings worth checking out.
