Trail Overview

This trail ends at BLM 245 and Coyote Wash. The beginning of the trail is a rarely used route that cuts through the heart of the mega power windmills, providing an intimate experience among the massive turbines. The surface is soft, fine sand throughout, requiring constant momentum. The trail is surrounded by various types of desert bushes, creating a vegetated corridor. Eventually, there's more traffic and more washboards as you progress, indicating the route becomes more popular and heavily used toward the end. The trail ends at BLM 245.

Difficulty

The soft fine sand requires four wheel drive, and airing down is essential for maintaining traction, especially on the rarely used beginning section. The more traffic and more washboards toward the end create a bumpier ride, but the increased use also means better-defined tracks to follow. The soft sand is forgiving but demands proper momentum management throughout.
