H1590

This is a more difficult ATV trail that makes a short loop off of Blake Ranch Road. Going clockwise, it starts at a telephone pole and steeply climbs up through a narrow rocky ravine, onto a more primitive trail following a fence line. There are spots of erosion in the beginning with foot-deep ruts and loose terrain, making traction more difficult. It is really quite steep and doesn’t get ridden much, as evidenced by the bushes in the middle of the trail. It climbs up to intersect with the H1263 road, then crosses it and keeps climbing up a steeper, even more rutted hillside. The entirety of the route is unmarked and primitive, and will likely not have any tracks to follow, but it gets up onto a ridgeline with a great view. Expect to get close and personal with the cactus. This one will likely require a map to make sure you’re still on the right route, which has grown over with bushes. The descent from the top is similarly primitive, with lots of bushes in the route. It sidehills down a steep hill that is narrow and off-camber, going down to a ravine, and follows a shelf above the ravine that is again primitive and overgrown and narrow. Expect lots of ruts and loose terrain on the descent. This route is probably best for dirt bikes looking for a challenge and not ATVs. This trail needs to be reclaimed a bit.
