Nice dirt trail out to the Little Black Mountain Petroglyphs Site. If you go to the right after the site, on 1124, there is a little sand hill climb (be careful), it's after the 1124 and 1988 ATV meet back up.

Amazing at golden hour, no one else out there other than a couple car camping with their pickup, only a couple deep ruts, mostly dirt/smaller rock gardens you can roll right over. I think from start to finish was 13 miles one way which looped me almost back to where I started initially. Great ride
