Shootering Canyon (aka Shitamaring Creek) is a fun experience as you travel through wide Lost Spring Wash, past the active Shootering Mine operations, and through the tight canyon walls before climbing out and connecting to Eggnog Star Springs Road.
This area falls within the South Henry Mountains Mining District, hence the presence of Shootaring Canyon Uranium Mill, which has been in operation since the late 1970s. Travel through the active mining area respectfully and with care. Be mindful of fences and gates, and do not deviate from the public road/trail.
Two small campsites can be found in the wider Lost Spring Wash area within a half-mile of the T-intersection. Another larger campsite is located at the northern end of the trail, roughly a mile after coming out of the canyon.
The hardest part of the trail is the mild wash crossings at the southern end. However, any high clearance 2WD vehicle should be able to traverse these features easily.
