American Basin

Trail Overview

American Basin is a regular little Jeep trail - less than a mile long. It would not constitute having a feature by itself, except it has fantastic wildflowers in July. If you enjoy wildflowers, make your way here in July. You may have to fight the crowd.

Difficulty

Uneven, rutted dirt trail with loose rocks, sand, erosion, and washes. Potential water crossings up to a foot deep, mud holes, and obstacles up to 18", including ledges and short, steep grades. Roads are typically one vehicle wide with places to pass.
