Trail Overview

From desert plains to sweeping canyon overlooks as far as the eye can see, this section of trail is a lot of fun, both visually and for driving. Drivers can expect occasional mild unevenness in the trail, sandy washes, and loose dirt in places. With being on top of the plateau, there will be sheer cliffs accompanied by some seriously dramatic views. No service and very remote, so plan accordingly. Stock trucks / Jeeps would be able to drive this trail.

Awesome trail. When I got to the flats just West of the Sulphur Canyon overlook the main trail had been severely eroded through the middle. I’d advise heading south towards link flat. The trail was minty fresh (dusty and intact) down that way. Enjoy!
