Itinerary description
Complete loop track from/to the State Route 170 near Bunkerville leading to Seven Keyholes Canyon via New Gold Butte Rd.
After the initial paved road and then the gravel one, near Devil's Throat, the road follows the Mud Wash with sandy spots. From here is surely advisable a 4WD with high clearance in the part leading up to the rim and then to the last part near the canyon, probably impassable when wet. In case, you can leave the vehicle on the hill, having a little walk to the canyon.
The way back could be on the same road or, like in my route, going North descending in the wash near Red Bluff Spring. From here you can go East in the wash and connect to the Little Finland route (see apart, even if I think you cannot do everything in the same day).
Going up the wash, if the conditions allow you (beware the rains), you can turn left following the river and arriving to the Gold Butte Rd. Otherwise, backtrack your route to Devil's Throat.
Like usual, follow the BLM regulations and respect nature! Stay on the road and leave only your footprints.
