Trail Overview

This out-and-back route offers a refreshing change of pace, featuring several fun water crossings that are rare in this high-desert environment. The trail winds through surprisingly lush vegetation, requiring some quick reflexes to dodge overhanging branches while maintaining your flow. Since there are no standing fences or clear boundary markers to lead you out, staying oriented is key to a successful return trip. It is a fantastic ride for those who enjoy a more organic, overgrown feel to their desert exploration.

You will need to stay sharp to avoid deep ruts that are often hidden by the surrounding greenery.
