Trail Overview
This route darts back and forth across a dry wash from Bellevue Flats. It is a gradual, almost unnoticeable climb and features some frolicking trail undulations and whoops, as well as banked turns. Although it is a wash, the rocks are few and far between, except when the trail pops out of the ravine and climbs up a short sidehill. It is mostly sand and small gravel and is just as fun and interesting if you are taking the trail slowly and taking in the scenery or hammering down the straightaways, skipping over the whoops, and sliding through the turns-- at a reasonable speed, of course.

Difficulty
Although the trail is flat, some of the stream crossings can have fairly deep water depending on the time of year. Some of the ridges and stream banks are over 18" which some longer wheelbase vehicles might case out on, or high-center on if they are lower clearance. The trail is also narrow and windy in some locations. Wider vehicles will need to slow down and pick their way through these areas.
