Trail Overview

This trail features a mix of soft sand, hard surface, and lots of small scattered rocks, creating varied and unpredictable traction conditions. The route winds back and forth up and down hills, somewhat following the power lines as a reference for navigation. You'll encounter lots of off-camber sections in and out of washes with uneven surfaces throughout that demand constant attention. This side of the mountain is more rugged, with a lot more scattered rocks and unforgiving barren land, creating a harsher and more challenging environment compared to other areas around Superstition Mountain.
