Inyo Craters from Sawmill Cutoff Road

Trail B

6 miles - 9.6 km (one way)

Intermediate

The two southern most Inyo Craters are open pits in a forested area that are about 600 feet across and 100 to 200 feet deep, each with small ponds covering their floors.  A quarter mile north of these is another Inyo explosion pit on top of Deer Mountain.  The trails can be accessed from the Sawmill Cutoff Road trailhead. 

RIDING INSIDE THE CRATERS IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
