Trail Overview
This easy dirt road section is the start/end of a 60-mile trail. It leads to the top of the mesa with beautiful desert views and scattered primitive camping. Connects to the (OnX) New River trail. On the south end, there are a couple of established campgrounds, as well as a small staging area. There is a small wash crossing in the beginning - do not cross in flooding situations. Two posted signs: "Not suited for wet weather travel or low clearance vehicles" and "Narrow Mountain Road - No Services next 60 miles".
