Difficulty

The sand and gravel surface requires attention to traction management. The numerous small drainage washes with bumps under 12 inches entering and exiting create constant minor vertical challenges. The trail, being a little bumpy with some washboards, adds to the jarring ride. The 2 to 4-foot berms help define the route clearly. Four wheel drive and high clearance are recommended for the wash crossings. Respect the limited-use area designation and stay on designated trails only.
