Difficulty

The combination of lots of washboards, ruts, off-camber sections, and drops in and out of washes, all under 12 inches, creates a technically demanding ride throughout. The mix of grainy sand and gravel requires constant traction management. Four wheel drive is recommended as essential equipment. High clearance is beneficial for the ruts and wash crossings. The flash flood area designation means weather awareness is critical for safety. Respect the limited-use area restrictions and stay on designated trails only.
