Ss1099

Trail Overview

Although power lines run alongside the trail, it is not a maintained road but rather a rocky track that follows a ridgeline before descending into a wash. The route is rocky, dusty, and lined with thorny vegetation, but it also offers striking views. It winds through the landscape with numerous off-camber sections, as well as a mix of ascents and descents. As the trail continues, it becomes increasingly challenging before eventually transitioning into rolling hills of deep sand. This is an enjoyable route, but a capable 4x4 is strongly recommended. You may feel a sense of relief upon reaching the paved road once again. The trail offers no amenities such as water or trash disposal, and cell service is limited, though dispersed camping is possible along the way.

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.
