EC1181

This 1.5-mile out-and-back trail climbs 130 feet, starting on EC1179 in a soft and sandy wash surrounded by trees and brush. The route quickly climbs out and runs along the lower level edges between the wash and hills, where the surface transitions to hard-packed sand. The trail heads to and through small hills, becoming much rockier and very narrow as it navigates through the hills, demanding careful line choice in tight quarters. Eventually, it climbs out and rises above the wash and hills, giving you nice views of the surrounding mountains from the elevated vantage point. The changing terrain from soft sand to hard pack to rocky creates an interesting variety of conditions along this short route.
