Trail Overview

This is a narrow trail that departs from Road 274, heads west on a windy track, and dead-ends after 2 miles. It has shallow ruts and loose rocks and a short steeper section in the beginning. It turns into a shelfy road on a hillside. The harder parts of the trail are when it goes through narrow sections of slab rock on the shelf road with hairpin turns before it drops down to a wash. It has more sections of shelfy trail elevated above a ravine and becomes more faint, as it doesn't get much use. There's a shelfy, off-camber, rocky section to get through with boulders on the side of the trail. It keeps going around the rim of the mesa, chokes down, and gets trickier, as it gets even more narrow with big rocks in the trail. It dead-ends at nowhere in particular. This trail would be more technical for a Jeep because of its narrowness. It is probably more suited for a UTV/ATV.
