Trail Overview

Traveling into the wash that flows out of Tusher Canyon, this 7.5-mile trail takes you all the way through the canyon with high sandstone cliffs on both sides. If it's recently rained, this canyon will have water crossings and runoff areas. There are areas of erosion and ruts in some places, but nothing too challenging. The scenery is spectacular.

Difficulty

A dirt trail, primarily. Water crossings would depend on recent rains. Beautiful sandstone cliffs on both sides of the canyon, large boulders, much to see, but an easy trail. Our SXS is 75" wide, and we had no problem maneuvering the canyon.

Beautiful trail winding through a wash and canyon. Condition seemed well maintained. The Building Man festival had recently been held near the beginning of the trail and a few people were still camped there.

Pretty trail along the bottom of a wash. Very easy. The highlight was stumbling across Jenkstar Ranch, with lots of art installations. Surreal sight in the middle of nowhere
