Phillips Canyon East

Leading into the heart of the Calico Mountains, Phillips Canyon East meanders next to open tunnels and deep pits, providing constant reminders of the silver mining era that once dominated this area. Beginning over flat soft sandy washes, this short trail soon transforms into a rough, rocky, narrow driving challenge. As the trail descends west from its peak, impressively tall and jagged rock walls hug the path leading to the very difficult Phillips Canyon West and Odessa Canyon trails.
