Trail Overview
This trail is aptly named and serves as an alternate route out of the area after exploring Mill Road, avoiding the need to backtrack. The northern section runs north to south and remains a true off-road route with single-vehicle width, washouts, ruts, and wide-open high desert views, along with features that appear to be remnants of an old railroad bed and possible bridge footings, though their origin is unconfirmed. The southern section runs east to west and functions more as a public access road for nearby neighborhoods, offering two lanes of graded dirt with some washboard surfaces.
