Trail Overview
Big Draw Trail (V27) is an overlander-friendly off-road route inside Escondido Draw Recreation Area that travels through rocky but manageable terrain. The trail consists primarily of dirt and smaller rocks, with occasional rough sections that require drivers to pay attention to tire placement. Big Draw also serves as a connecting route to other trails within the park, making it a fun option for exploring the area without tackling the more extreme rock-crawling terrain found nearby. High-clearance four-wheel-drive vehicles should be well suited for this trail.
Difficulty
Big Draw Trail (V27) is an easy off-road trail with small rocks, uneven terrain, and occasional sections that require careful tire placement. A high-clearance four-wheel-drive vehicle with low range is recommended. While there are no major technical obstacles, rock sliders and underbody protection are preferred due to the rocky terrain and the possibility of contacting exposed rocks along the trail.
