Trail Overview
This trail starts at EC1332 and immediately drops into a canyon, winding through the terrain down to the sand washes below. The surface is sandy with rocks scattered throughout, featuring lots of washboards and whoops that will test your suspension. You'll encounter off camber sections and some areas of deep sand that require attention and momentum. From the plateau at the start, you're rewarded with views of the surrounding mountains, including the Trigo Mountains, before descending. There's not much vegetation along the route except for seasonal wildflowers that add color when in bloom. The canyon setting creates an interesting descent with changing terrain as you drop in elevation.
Difficulty
This is an easy to moderate trail with the main challenges being the washboards, whoops, and deep sand sections. The off-camber areas require careful navigation, and the immediate drop into the canyon demands attention at the start. Four Wheel Drive is recommended for the deep sand areas, and airing down will help with traction and comfort over the washboards.
