Dripping Springs Quartzsite 2.5

A very interesting Jeep trail.  Perhaps on the high side of a 2.5 rating.  There are a few small boulders and loose hills.  The canyon leading to and away from the spring is quite narrow and twisty.  Be careful of oncoming traffic.
​

We ran the trail in a counter clockwise direction, getting the more mundane portion out of the way first.  There is a spur off the main trail that dead ends at a big parking area for the spring.

There is a GPS - gpx track at the bottom of the page.

Dripping Springs Canyon
Dripping Springs is a small spring fed pool inside a cave.  Drive within a couple hundred feet of it and follow a well used path up the wash.  Stoop just a bit and you can enter the cave.  Smells a bit like bat guano, but we did not see any evidence of it.

After visiting the spring, follow another trail along the hill and view quite a few petroglyphs on boulders.

On the north loop of the Jeep trail you will pass an abandoned stone house.  Nice view of Quartzsite through the window.
