Chihuahua Valley Road

Chihuahua Valley Road departs Highway 79 one mile north of Sunshine Summit and three miles south of Oak Grove. After a climb through the rugged Previtt Canyon, the road turns into a long and serene valley. Roadside trailmarkers indicate that this is part of the California Riding & Hiking Trail which can be followed north to the Durazno Valley at the south edge of the Cahuilla Indian Reservation in Anza.

At mile marker 6, look for a wooden sign for the Lost Valley Scout Camp. Before reaching the scout camp, the road enters Anza-Borrego Desert State Park at Bucksnort Mountain. The Pacific Crest Trail crosses the road and can be hiked to enjoy mountain scenery, with an optional climb to Combs Peak, the park's tallest point.
