Trail Overview
The majority of the road is smooth and graded. However, there are sections that can have sticky mud, washed out from seasonal creeks that have a potential for high clearance. Carrizo Plain can get very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. The best time to go in the spring to check out the wildflower blooms. If you are lucky you can see a pronghorn antelope. There is limited cell service.
