Trail Overview

This route offers a simpler and lower elevation alternative to the Cisco Claymore Hills trail while still providing a fun desert drive through the area. The terrain is made up mostly of sand, making it an easier option for drivers who want to avoid the rougher and more scenic hill route. There are a few steeper inclines along the way, but they are straightforward climbs without major ledges, severe off-camber sections, or technical obstacles. Washouts are present in several spots, so drivers should stay alert and avoid carrying too much speed through blind dips or uneven sections. While it may not have the dramatic views or challenge of Cisco Claymore Hills, this route serves as an efficient connector for travelers heading to the other side and exiting through Dome Plateau and Owl Draw. It is a solid choice for those looking for a smoother route with less technical driving while still enjoying the remote desert landscape.
