Trail Overview

This off-road trail features a unique, soft dirt surface, resembling the feel of a dry lakebed. It offers an easy-going ride when the conditions are dry, with smooth, expansive stretches perfect for cruising. However, be cautious when rain or melting snow is present, as the trail can quickly turn into a slippery, challenging mess, requiring careful navigation. The trail can be approached from either end, allowing flexibility in your journey. Along the way, you'll find several offshoots to explore, offering the opportunity for more adventure and variety. The area is teeming with wildlife, so keep an eye out for roaming cattle and sheep, and perhaps even spot some antelope. A golden eagle has also been spotted soaring above, adding a majestic touch to the landscape. Though this particular route doesn't have the best camping spots, other offshoots along the trail offer more suitable options for setting up camp, ensuring that you can still enjoy the serenity of the outdoors. Whether you're seeking a relaxing drive or a chance to explore more remote areas, this trail offers plenty of opportunities for adventure.
