Trail Overview

Leaving Highway 78 the wash is large and wide enough for a few cars as you get further into the trail the wash tightens up and becomes wide enough for 1 car. The wash turns into a slalom-style ride with large openings. It's a good ride in an ATV, SXS, or high-clearance car.

Muddy/Wet
Once the trail crosses the 191, approx half a mile after the rest of the trail is this thick slick mud that appears from the surface to be dry! I wouldn’t doubt it’s easily traversable but for vehicles unprepared it will be a challenge.
