From Cabin Canyon Road, turn on Hen Springs Road. This road quickly becomes a one-lane trail. As you climb up and around the mountainous terrain, you will be surrounded by the Virgin Mountains. The beauty will surround you, and you will find yourself taking many pictures. Upon arrival at Beer Can Fence, you will find the number of cans hanging on the fence surprising. Rumor has it that the farmers started placing beer cans on the gate to be able to find the fence in the dark; however, visitors have kept up the quirky tradition of hanging more cans along the fence. This is a good stopping point as there is room to pull off the trail. This trail will then tie into Bunkerville Choo Choo Trail.

Trail is open and normal. This has just been recently graded. It has been widened up, so most of it is a lane and a half now. There is even some pull off spots to let someone pass. There are still some wash outs on the lower side that will come back with some rain. Bob Dirocco, On X OffRoad

On X Off-road Trail Overview :
Many have heard of the movie Thelma and Louise. Come see the jump site and some surrounding additions to the adjacent fence. This is a fun, easy trail that can be added to a visit to the Three Corners Monument or Cedar Pockets Sink Hole. There are also lots of other things to see, including some beautiful Joshua tree forested areas. You can also go down into the Beaver Dam Wash during the correct times of the year. Do not go into this wash when there is snow melt or forecasted thunderstorms anywhere in this region. Rain falling far away from this site can come down the wash with incredible force.

Trail is open. What else can you say, it was a fun pit stop and the kids laughed so hard they couldn’t talk when they saw all the underwear on the fence.
