"However if you bear to the right at the V of the mines(there's one to the left and one to the right) and stay in the wash there is a trail thru the wash that looks like it goes away's."
I road that area last weekend, real fun when you get past the V(if I get what you're saying). You can take it all the way around the mountain, there are wilderness signs along the right side of the trail denoteing the boundry. Also a killer overlook is up there near the top, you can see all the valley, and dunes below.
