Trail Overview
This is a wide dirt trail with embedded rock slab and loose rocks. It goes through a red desert terrain with big sandstone mesas in the distance, going up and over small hills and through washes between red dirt bluffs. There are small ledges at the crest of the hills to get up or down, and one really big wash crossing. The ledges are only a foot tall, but sometimes the hills have steeper spots. It goes past big sandstone mesas and towers and a huge camping area at the end of Road D2973.

Difficulty
This trail is fairly easy for dirt bikes for all of it, with just one spot with a foot-tall ledge at the crest of a steep hill.
