Chappo Spring (BLM AR233)

Trail Overview

This route starts at Highway 178 and travels South along the West edge of the Nopah Range Wilderness to Chappo Spring. This 2-track trail is mostly hard-packed with gravel and a few washes. Use caution when approaching the washes as they can change over time from erosion caused by monsoon rains. The trail is mostly straight but has several short segments routing through deeper washes with sharp turns. It ends at Chappo Spring, which is an active spring and a small swamp with palm trees. There are some buildings and other artifacts in the area. The trail is clearly marked with BLM signs. This is a very hot desert environment, so make sure you bring plenty of water. It is best traveled in the winter. If you go in warmer seasons, go very early in the morning to avoid the intense heat.
