Trail Overview
BLM30085 is a 2.6-mile point-to-point single-track trail within the Beaver Dam Wash National Conservation Area. It is rated 3 of 10 as it is not maintained by the BLM. The trail connects Lytle Ranch Road and the north end of Welcome Springs Road close to the climbing area. This trail crosses the alluvial hills of the Beaver Dam Mountains. This trail provides one of the few hilly tracks within the NCA. Travelers may come across the desert tortoise, bighorn sheep, Joshua trees, and other threatened and sensitive species. Surface water flows in the upper reaches of Beaver Dam Wash, but rarely travels all the way through the NCA. Cell phone coverage will be spotty and the nearest services are located in Beaver Dam.
Difficulty
The trail consists of loose rocks, dirt, and sand with some slick rock surfaces and mud holes possible. No steps are higher than 12 inches. 4WD may be required, and aggressive tires are a plus.
