Trail Overview
The trail begins with a moderate level of difficulty for a capable 4x4, featuring washouts, off-camber sections, deep erosion, and a generally rocky surface. As the route progresses, it levels out and transitions to sandy terrain surrounded by dense scrub, where pinstriping is almost unavoidable. The final third of the trail is severely eroded and extremely remote, with a combination of off-camber stretches, rocks, and sand. There are no amenities along this route--no access to water, trash disposal, or reliable cell service--but dispersed camping opportunities are available.
History
Managed by the Bureau of Land Management, the 2,000-acre site is a popular destination for off-highway vehicles, especially in the cooler months. Visitors can ride the sandy trails by day and soak under the stars by night. While the area has no amenities like water or trash disposal, dispersed camping is allowed, and the BLM encourages visitors to tread lightly and pack out waste to help preserve the fragile desert ecosystem.
