Trail Overview

This narrow connector trail weaves through dense desert vegetation, including cactus and palo verde, making paint damage a possibility. The terrain is rugged, with ruts, erosion, and off-camber sections that require careful navigation. Ditches along the route add to the challenge, making this a more technical drive. With no major obstacles but plenty of natural terrain features to manage, this trail is best suited for those comfortable with tight and uneven paths. Cell service is limited, so be sure to download offline maps before heading out.
