The sandy surface with small off-camber sections, ruts, and rocks all under 12 inches creates accumulated challenges without individual extreme obstacles. Those couple of small hills with whoops test suspension and momentum management. Airing down helps sandy traction. The thick desert flora creates narrow passages in spots. High clearance handles the sub-12-inch obstacles comfortably. Respect the limited use designation and stay on established trails only. Alternative routing to Short Canyon without being easier than the main route.
