Sa1003

Trail Overview

Sa1003 Trail is a point-to-point connector trail that links to unmapped wash trails. The route is mostly on BLM land, but does pass through a small section of State Trust land; a permit is required for that portion. The trail is a rocky gravel road, wide enough for a full-size vehicle, with rocky berms on both sides. High-clearance 2WD is accessible, though conditions can vary. The trail crosses a wash and may be washed out or become impassable after rain or during bad weather. At the end of the trail, there are established camp rings, and it connects to a wash and additional unmapped trail sections. The surrounding desert landscape features creosote bushes, ocotillo, and various cacti. Cattle may be present along the route.
