Trail Overview

Happy's Runoff is a mixed dirt and rock trail. It's a fun technical driving trail with multiple washouts and wash crossings, some of them off-camber. One even has a railroad tie in it to make the crossing easier. Speckled with creosote and cactus, this area is ruggedly beautiful. This land requires a yearly permit that can be purchased and printed online. The permit allows certain recreational activities, including camping, bicycling, bird watching, GPS-based recreational activities (geocaching), hiking, horseback riding, off-highway vehicle (OHV) usage, photography, picnicking, and sightseeing.
