Trail Overview

Washout way is a thrilling mix of soft, flowing sand and rugged rock gardens that will test both speed and skill. The trail starts with a winding sandy wash, where you can pick up momentum and enjoy a smooth ride--until the terrain changes. As you progress, scattered boulders and rocky sections demand careful navigation, adding a technical challenge to the otherwise fast-paced route. Expect tight turns, shifting sand, and a few surprise rock ledges that keep things interesting. After recent rains, the wash can deepen, creating unpredictable conditions, so be prepared for ever-changing terrain. Whether you're looking to rip through the soft stuff or crawl through the rocks, this trail offers a perfect balance of both. High-clearance vehicles are recommended, and airing down will help with traction in the sand. This is a must-run trail for anyone who enjoys a mix of speed and technical driving, all set against a classic desert backdrop.
