BLM 085 South

Trail Overview

This one vehicle-wide trail features very fine sand that gets deep at times, requiring constant momentum management. The route is lined with creosote bushes throughout, creating a natural corridor. The trail runs parallel to the train tracks, providing an interesting industrial backdrop. You'll encounter some whoops and washboards scattered along the way, creating a bumpy ride. The Coyote Mountains are to your south, the Fish Lake Mountains are to your west, and Superstition Mountain is to your north, providing dramatic mountain views in multiple directions.

Difficulty

The very fine sand that gets deep at times is the main challenge, requiring four wheel drive, and airing down is essential for maintaining traction. The one vehicle width leaves no room for error and demands precise navigation. The whoops and washboards add to the challenge and create a jarring ride. The deep sand sections can be particularly demanding and may require momentum recovery techniques. Respect the US Navy bombing range boundary at the end.
