When you continue down the road after it ends and turn to dirt, you go down maybe a mile and there's an obvious place to park your car on the right hand side. When you get out of the car you head up the trail which is to your right.
Supposedly the trail was so named because back in the day "cowboys" and traders would come through the pass to the town to wet their willy. Anyhow, it's a nice hike up, it's hot but nice. (maybe about a mile n' a half?) When you reach the top you get a very nice view of the valley and can sea the salt collections of where the lake used to be. You can continue on or turn around. When you look in the opposite direction of the sun you can see trails that riddle the mountain. It's an awesome place to go boulder scrambling and you don't really need to stick to the path.
BUT BEWARE though fuzzy bear cactus' have branches that break off and burry themselves in sand. Found that one out the hard way! Haha, had to use my camera to peel the arm out of my shoe, a good inch of needle got into my foot. Not so cool. My hunny decided to kick it away and got it stuck to him to. So use your brain people!!!
