Trail Overview

This is a great trail to grab a dispersed campsite and stage for the weekend. From this area, exploring the surrounding mountains and trail networks is easy. This trail is a loop trail out in open BLM land. The northern side of the trail is rated a 1-2. It's very easy dirt and gravel. It has many large dispersed camping spots that would accommodate large 5th wheels and RVs. There are beautiful views of the mountains, and it is peaceful and quiet, depending on how close you decide to camp to others. The trail narrows towards the turn in the middle. The trail's southern end is a little more fun with some risers and a sandy wash crossing. One side has a steep, very off-camber hill when crossing Coyote Wash. There are several other small wash crossings and several small washouts on the southern leg. There is one bar of intermittent AT&T 5G cell service.

Difficulty

There is one narrow, steep, very off-camber climb to get out of the Coyote wash. That is the obstacle that makes this trail a 3. There are a few smaller washes with ruts. Also, some sections of the trail have many overgrown desert bushes, making the trail narrow and with the potential for paint damage on larger vehicles.
