Trail Overview
Serving as a connector between BLM 762, BLM 763, and BLM 617, this sand and gravel route navigates terrain dotted with larger trees and desert brush that you weave between constantly. Little washes cut across your path repeatedly, all keeping their steps under 12 inches. A private fence runs parallel to portions of the trail, demanding you stay within bounds on the established route. You're operating in the limited-use side of the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area, where straying off trail violates regulations.
Difficulty
The many little wash crossings under 12 inches create a steady rhythm of minor ups and downs without serious obstacles. Sand and gravel surfaces handle predictably. The private fence sections require awareness to avoid trespassing. Any vehicle with reasonable clearance navigates this connector without drama. Just respect those boundaries and stay on the designated path.
