Trail Overview

The west end of this trail starts in a sand wash and climbs up from the wash onto the nearby hill. It ascends a steep climb full of loose rock on a wide trail like a two-track. In spring time, these hills are very green, and it brings you up to a scenic ridge line looking down on the desert hills full of saguaros, creosote bushes, and cholla. You get really nice views from the ridge of the distant mountains. It curves along the tops of the mountains on an easy path, with no major obstacles, and a few more gradual climbs and descents. The trail is generally pretty easy to follow, with lots of tracks on a well-defined path. It drops back off of the ridgeline back to the valley floor on the east end. This trail is entirely unmarked and lacks signage for width designations.
