Trail Overview

Earning an accessible Grade 2 difficulty rating, this 1.6-mile desert connector features a straightforward surface composed of fine silt, soft sand, and shallow wheel ruts that deepen to 6–8 inches near the end. Technical rock features, steep hill climbs, and severe washouts are absent under dry conditions. Drivers should maintain a steady, gentle momentum through powdery sand patches, keep tires centered along established tracks when crossing the cattle guard, and strictly avoid driving during or immediately after rain when saturated clay turns to sticky mud.
