how to get from ridgecrest to fossil falls
my goal is to be able to visit the falls with ease but i don't want to be on the highway with big ol semi's pushing me off of the road with all the air that they displace. i'm having trouble finding maps of trails in the area. help me?

- Re: how to get from ridgecrest to fossil falls
I don't know the Ridgecrest area too well, but if you can get to the CA-178 / CA-14 junction via backroads, then you can access the aqueduct road just south of Indian Wells. This road pretty much follows the baseline of the southern Sierra, and will lead to a road west of Cinder Cone that will lead down to US-395 at Cinder Road, which is the access for Fossil Falls. The aqueduct road is a pretty neat route, well graded with spectacular views.
On the east side of CA-14 and US-395, there is a power line road that passes east of Fossil Falls, but I think it crosses into China Lake NWS, which is forbidden territory and can get you shot!
