See video link below. It is strongly recommended that only UTVs, Jeep Wranglers/Rubicons or similar type vehicles, light dirt bikes, or heavily modified and lifted short wheelbase 4x4s take this route. Dirt bikers need to be prepared to go slow and navigate the maze of rocks at a slow speed for miles. Heavy bikes will cause rider exhaustion. Stock 4x4 pickups and SUVs will not make it due to inadequate vehicle clearance. There are multiple stretches of road across volcanic boulders the size of watermelons. Speeds will be between 5 and 15mph for much of the drive. Plan 4-5 hours to travel one way to Kelly Point in a Jeep. UTVs usually make it in 3-3.5 hours. While almost all of the Parashant has no cell service, it was recently discovered that Verizon customers get service (data and voice calls) at the very end of Kelly Point. There is a Verizon tower at the Grand Canyon West Skywalk on the Hualapai Reservation. This service is not guaranteed so DO NOT count on it for rescue. ![]()
