Trail Overview
This is an incredible trail; not only is it so much fun to ride, but it is also full of surprises. It's like some kind of rocky oasis, where you will stop no matter what, and if you ride during hot weather/summertime, it's the perfect spot to take a swim! And why not spend a night or two camping there on the side of the trail? The views are just so beautiful and so diverse. Expect lots of rocks and water crossings--one of them you will have to drive through a rocky pass with water on top. It's not very deep, but challenging for sure. There are some steep slopes with loose rocks, lots of tight turns, and some long straight lines of loose, shallow sand. Lots of fun is guaranteed. High clearance is a must. Ask locals before taking this trail during the rainy season, especially after rainy days.

Difficulty
High vehicle clearance is a must for this trail. There are loose, rocky, steep hills and large sections of loose sand. There's a water crossing with a solid rock bed. Make sure you have satellite communication or any GPS device; it's a very isolated trail with no cell signal along the way.
