Rockin' Ram Trail

Trail Overview

You can stage at some of the many RV parks in Quartzsite along Highway 95 or on BLM land along the highway. You access this 18-mile trail in the desert on the east side of Highway 95. Follow the track across the desert to the Plomosa Mountains. Plomosa Pass is rocky and narrow, with tight turns and a lot of fun. Big horn sheep are often visible along the trail. This trail is very fun and moderately challenging. On the east side of the mountains, be sure to stop for lunch in Brenda.

Difficulty

Plomosa Pass has some steep, rocky, narrow parts with tight turns. Much of the trail is flat across the desert, although there are some washes and drainage areas. These are great for viewing driftwood created by the summer monsoon rains.

History
