Beginning on the open desert floor, CL8125 gently rises into a rugged box canyon on the northern slope of Alvord Mountain and abruptly ends at a high wall of car-size boulders. The road once was the access to the Starfire North Tungsten Prospect. The once busy prospect left intimidatingly deep horizontal and vertical mine shafts. Once on the mountain's slope, frequent soccer ball size rocks are embedded in the trail but are easily driven around. The mining camp, located near the shafts, has a few remaining remnants but makes for great dispersed camping.
