Trail Overview

Somewhat difficult route due to hidden rocks and steps in deep sand. Skirting the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument and wilderness area. There are some areas that can be extremely deep sand especially the further along you go. If it has not rained much you can dig 10 feet and not find bottom. Take heed for it is like no other sandy area I have seen.

Not sure why this is rated so high. This is a listed 2WD road to the various trailheads along the way. This is a 2 at worst. I can drive my Bronco 30-40 mph down this road. Offshoots like pine tree rd are definitely harder trails.
