Trail Overview
EP499 is a trail winding through a small canyon on loose sand with abundant embedded and loose rocks. The route crosses numerous washes with drop-ins and drop-outs throughout, passing through interesting old mining areas with views of the surrounding historical landscape. Part of the trail has some very sharp, bumpy rock sections.
Difficulty
Rated a 4, this is a slow-moving technical route with very rocky sections demanding careful line selection throughout. Drivers will encounter off-camber sections, ruts, and holes up to 18 inches deep along the way. The rocky and loose surface keeps pace measured but rewards those willing to explore the area.
