Trail Overview
This short single track is located in the BLM land southeast of Pahrump, NV as part of a bigger trail system full of fast, fun, and flowy single tracks. Starting from the west end of this trail, the trail departs from a graded jeep road where there is an abandoned red 5 horsepower lawnmower thing with the motor taken out. The majority of the trail is fun, fast, and flowy through sandy washes. It goes into badlands terrain, flowing in between, up and over, and on top of small bentonite hills. It's soft dirt, smooth, not very rocky, with a few dips into small ravines. The trail ends at a sandy rutted-out portion of a jeep road that you can take back to Tecopa Road to the main staging area.
