FS 1713/FS 1399

This relatively easy two-track circles east around Haystack Butte, offering beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and wide open desert landscape. The surface is mostly smooth dirt with a few dips and minor washouts, but nothing technical. There is one small pinch point with a cholla on one side and a washout on the other, along with a few stretches of tight brush that narrow the corridor. Expect big sections of cholla forest and plenty of wildlife sightings, including lots of jackrabbits darting across the desert.
