Scratchy Scratch

Trail Overview

This trail starts with a ton of fun and ends with paint damage. The southern section is a wide wash with plenty of room to navigate. At its southern terminus, you'll find a fence across the main wash and a locked gate at the adjacent access point. Headed north, once you cross the main road, there are a couple of rocky narrow sections before you drop back into the wash. As you proceed north, the wash narrows extremely. The final 50-100 meters of the trail are tight, overgrown turns, with the final obstacle being two trees across from each other on the trail that act as a gate. For reference, there are about 2 inches on each side of a Tacoma as clearance to get through. The trail terminates at a gnarly fenceline road--but that's another trail with another story.

Difficulty

This wash is unmaintained and could prove dangerous (especially the northern, more narrow end) during or after a rain event. The wash is wider to the south, but the northern end is hazardous.
