Trail Overview

This narrow, overgrown trail is a guaranteed paint-damage route, with tight turns and dense cacti lining the path. Drivers should expect a slow, careful crawl through tight sections where vegetation encroaches on the trail. Despite the challenge, a few campsites along the way offer a chance to stop and take in the remote desert surroundings. With no cell service in the area, download offline maps before heading out.
