I don't think I'd have a problem with ditching a rental car somewhere along Warm Springs Canyon Rd. and hiking in either. Just curious as to how far I can expect to get.
You should be able to get to the talc mines in a rental car, though any dirt will violate the rental contract. Warm Springs Rd. is wide and pretty smooth. Very shortly after you pass the mine buildings, the road deteriorates significantly.
