Trail Overview

The trail is mainly hard-packed dirt and some sand once in the canyon. This trail passes through private property and has signs around the area, so just be respectful when driving through the first 4 miles of the northern section of the trail. The rest of the trail goes through the Anza-Borrego Desert and can be completed with 2WD.

Washboard on either end of the trail, but the rest was easy. There are a few ruts on the north end of the trail, but fairly easy to navigate around. If you start on the north side, there appears to be about a 1/4 mile of private property that you go through (there are signs noting that it's private property), but there are no gates.

Just starting out and this was a pretty easy trail. Vegetation is growing so could get some pin striping

Very fun beginner trail. Mix of terrains between sand, gravel and hard rocks. Lots of hills and curves. Would recommend 👍
