Trail Overview
This trail is an excellent option to cut across the hills over to another great network of trails. It's generally easy with some tight sections. There are loose rocky hill climbs, slight off-camber sections, and the occasional rutted hill climb or descent. In spring, the area bursts with wildflower colors and diverse green plant life. As you near the mine area, keep your speed down for dust, and there is no stopping or parking near the active mine. Be courteous, as the folks who work here, live here. A kind wave and a hello will assist in keeping this trail open. There appears to be no camping along this route, but other options are closer to the tarmac. Plenty of cholla cacti are close to the trail's edge and just waiting to hitch a ride on the side wall of your tires. The cell service is spotty at best, so be sure to download your offline maps and be ready for desert conditions with plenty of water and extra supplies.
