Ranger Review: Mountain House Turkey Dinner at Granary Spring/Motel 6

Campground Review: Granary Spring is a dispersed camping area. Many established fire rings in the vicinity. This area is a very popular canyoneering camping area as it is within proximity of many canyons in Robbers Roost and the Spur area. This area is also know as Motel 6, refrenced as such by many canyoneers. Motel 6 is spray painted on a old metal bunk house in the area. There are cattle in the area, but they were not bothersome. There are no amenities here, this is very rural camping. I would highly recommend 4-wheel drive in this camping area, there is a lot of sand. No cell service in the area. we did High Spur Canyon on this trip, about 25 miles from the camping area. 4 wheel drive is needed on most roads past the campground. I have included one photo of the beautiful canyon.

Be prepareed to encounter various desert creatures. Listen for the coyotes, watch out for the rattle snakes. Those little scorpions tend to make an appearance as well as some gnarly spiders.

As of March 31 the main road in is very washboard.

Gear Review: Mountain House Turkey Dinner How wonderful it was to eat “Thanksgiving Dinner” after a long day and many miles in the desert! This meal really hit the spot! I would recommend letting the meal stand for a bit longer than the 9 minutes total, the veggies were still a bit crunchy. The stuffing and turkey was tasty and I would definitely purchase this for future endeavors. Meal 5 stars!
