Trail Overview
Black Mamba is just under a mile long. It will loop you back to Ranch Road from Hawkeye. There are steep grades as well as areas that are off-camber and rutted out. A vehicle with 4WD and low range will be needed. Depending on recent rainfall, the grades may require lockers to get up. There is a smaller rock obstacle on one of the grades that would be easier to overcome when going down rather than up. It can be accomplished in a vehicle without lockers. It is very easy to get confused and branch off of Black Mamba as it crosses over Hawk Eye and also insects with Trigger.
