The highlight of January for Jawbone had to be the surprise snow. Although it didn't stick along the highway or in the canyon itself, it did blanket all of the surrounding peaks and ridges. The passes into Kelso Valley saw deep snow, as did parts of the El Paso and Rand Mountains.

OHV riders can best protect their trails by staying on the designated routes. The Friends of Jawbone helps by providing area riders with information on where it is legal to ride. We've long published trail maps of the area and made them available for purchase through the Jawbone Canyon Visitors Center.
