Trail Overview

This is a short but intermediate spur trail off of 483 that rides through constantly rocky terrain in the Coronado National Forest. The terrain is rolling desert hills covered in mesquite trees and ocotillos. The trail has sharp turns, little dips across sudden ravines, and frequent embedded boulders. There are a couple of notable moderate rock obstacles. One is an embedded rock surface during a narrow climb, surrounded by very loose rock and dirt, but you can ramp right up the center of the rock layer. There are some mild side-hilling sections, and steep little spots as it enters or exits a ravine. It goes over a section of white rocks similar to the Moonscape section on trail 480, and has views of some really scenic rock outcroppings.

Access Description

There is an official staging area for the Red Spring Pass dirt bike trails four miles into Sardina Canyon Road (684). Enter Sardina Canyon at the Hunter Access Point from the Interstate 19 Frontage Road (exit the highway at Chavez Siding Road). The staging area is a large dirt parking lot with space for several vehicles and small trailers. There is a map and information kiosk, and two picnic tables. Overnight camping is not allowed in this lot; however, there are numerous dispersed camping spots along Sardina Canyon Road. The road in is very slow going and bumpy, with lots of loose rock and ruts, ideal mostly for high clearance 4x4 vehicles. This area gets used for illegal immigration - use caution and expect to see border patrol in the area.
