Also known as the Big Horn Dam this water-storage facility was constructed in 1900 by cattle ranchers. A hiking trail of around 1.5 miles is easy enough for most people to travel on. You might see a lot of desert wildlife while you're here, attracted by the water. To get to the trailhead go to Queen Valley Road.
