Wild Horse Monument

Trail Overview

This is a relatively easy trail that takes you beyond the Wild Horse Monument and into BLM land. Overall, this is a GREAT trail to learn the basics of off-roading in a fun and safe environment. The beginning of the trail undulates through a narrow desert canyon, with a few twists and turns. At about .8 miles in, you start to climb through sometimes deep sand. Once at the top, the trail eventually dead-ends at private farmland. The top has a gorgeous view of the Columbia River gorge and makes a nice place for lunch. There are a few offshoots from the main trail that can be explored. This area gets very hot in the summer, so bring plenty of water.

Difficulty

Some potential for deep sand. Watch for rock falls from canyon walls.
