Trail Overview

Blue Monster Wash is a 1.4-mile wash trail in the Hayfield Draw OHV area near Camp Verde, Arizona. The west end starts at Forest Service Road 361, and it continues as an easy sand wash until it intersects with the #527 trail at an unmarked intersection. It's an easy, curvy sand wash, with bits of rock and gravel but no big rocks, and it's mostly flat. The sand is pretty compact, and it is easy to follow. It goes through a Sonoran Desert terrain with lots of mesquite bushes, shrubs, and juniper trees, underneath the Black Hills of Prescott National Forest.
