Trail Overview

Short Wheelbase road is a gravel and sandy road that has very large washouts that dip down, a long wheelbase vehicle would have a hard time and may find themselves dragging their rear ends. These spots are prone to flash floods, and do not attempt during rainy seasons. The road runs through the Bureau of Land Management property.

I wouldn’t take my wife’s car on this road but our long wheelbase pickup had no problems getting through the “short wheelbase” labeled section in 2WD.
