Trail Overview

This trail offers a fun mix of obstacles, elevation changes, and rewarding scenery for drivers looking for more than a basic dirt road. From the start, expect numerous washouts that can challenge articulation and require careful tire placement. Several steep hill climbs appear throughout the route, adding traction demands and making momentum important in loose conditions. Some of these climbs include rock ledges up to 12 inches tall, which can make the ascent more difficult for longer wheelbase or lower-clearance vehicles. Good approach angles and underbody protection are helpful in the rougher sections. The highlight of the route comes near the top, where the trail reaches a sharp corner on exposed slickrock or stone slab. This natural viewpoint provides sweeping desert scenery and is an excellent place to stop, take photos, and catch your breath before continuing. Overall, this is a short but engaging route with enough technical features to keep capable drivers interested.
