BLM 760

Launching from Ted Kipf Road, this gravel and sand route threads between desert bushes lining both edges. Small washes interrupt your progress with steps under 12 inches as you dip in and out of drainages. Minor ruts pepper the surface without causing serious trouble. At the mile mark, a fence materializes, requiring you to follow its line outside private land, so stay tight to the established route here. You're in the limited-use side of the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area, where wandering off trail isn't an option.
