Trail Overview

You'll want to have clear directions on this network of trails as there are many different side roads and washes that branch off of it. Interesting mines and ruins make it a fun route, but make sure you come prepared with water and supplies, as it gets very little use.

Difficulty

Moderate: Hard-packed dirt and gravel with occasional rocky sections. Soft sand in river bed. Brush marks likely. Aggressive SUVs only.
