Trail Overview
This short but technical single track starts in a sandy wash within the Standard Wash Open OHV Area. The trail in general is unmarked and faint in spots, and will require some good route finding skills, and a GPS track is recommended. It starts by climbing out of the wash with a small technical climb up a loose and very steep hill. It continues as a narrow single track on the hilltops, with lots of troughs as it climbs up and over the rolling hills. It has a lot of really steep and loose downhills that often go down into a shallow ravine, then straight back up the next hillside. A couple spots are more like rocky ledges, but most of the trail is just very steep and loose, making it more of an intermediate difficulty, as it's covered in pea-gravel for the majority of the route. You'll have to side-hill across some of the hillsides, and it gets up on cool ridge lines with great views of the whole valley. At times it turns into a Jeep trail for a quick segment, then turns back into a single track. It continues to flow and zig zag through the desert valley for 2.4 miles, ending in a wash that you can take to the Hn475 single track. Watch out for cactus and spiky plants.
Difficulty
This trail is intermediate because it is very slick, as it's covered in pea gravel. It is constantly loose and troughed, with rocky downhills and steep climbs. A few spots are particularly steeper, and inexperienced riders will likely be spinning in the dirt to get up the climbs if they don't have proper tires.
