EC1177

This 1.64-mile out-and-back trail climbs 155 feet and is located on BLM land, ending at the Yuma Proving Grounds, which is part of the Department of Defense, where no entry is allowed. The surface is hard-packed sand with some gravel and rocks, and the trail is lined with creosote bushes throughout. The route cuts through a small canyon surrounded by small hills before climbing up a small hill after a quarter mile onto a ridgeline with drop-offs on both sides, offering great views of the canyons below. The trail continues to climb, giving you even better vantage points and views of the surrounding mountains as you gain elevation. The trail runs along a cliff edge at one point, adding dramatic scenery to the journey. There are some dispersed camping opportunities along the route.
