Muldoon's Dead End

Trail Overview

This trail has a connecting loop but ends right before a sharp drop-off. There are a few admirable dispersed campsites protected by large Juniper trees. For a short time, the trail follows along the gas pipeline until one sees a hill that appears to be a bit too steep and goes on for a bit too long. This is where the trail bypasses those hills and runs along the dry riverbed. There are some seriously steep and off-camber transitions into these river beds and one relatively long, quite loose steep hill climb before arriving near the end. One bar LTE cell service in and out.

Difficulty

Long steep rocky hill climb with turns and some deep transitions through the washes.
