Washboardy, but otherwise easy. Easy going, so keep up the speed and it'll be just fine - washboards are from soft sand, so not too terrible. Nice camping on some of the sandy off-shoots.

This was on the exit from our east to west run of the Del Diablo. Insanely washboarded with whoops. Side by sides have destroyed this part of the trail. Avoid this altogether if you’re doing the Diablo and start from Wellton. You could backtrack some to catch the last immensely beautiful canyon/valley spilling out to the Yuma range, but turn around before you emerge into the flat desert area of A6 to headback to the east on the Diablo.

Long trek down this trail, not a lot of places to stop and stretch your legs in the military range part. There’s some cool sites to check out along the way.
