Trail Overview

This is the first section of a loop that takes you from the Mojave Trail near Afton Canyon Campground around the Cady Mountains. This is an easy loop that can add another day of riding in the Afton Canyon area. Each part connects at sections of the trail that merge with another trail or make an obvious turn in the track. The Cady Mountains will be on the left side of the trail and the open desert to the right.

Rocky in places but passable. Awesome views.

Did the whole Cady Loop. Doable in a crosstrek but you’ll need all terrains to air down for the sandy parts. Razors have put fat ruts in the road requiring a stock crosstrek to ride the berms to avoid scraping your under carriage. Doable though.
