- Elevation: From 4615 to 5264 feet
- Terrain Type: Sandy bottom arroyo with some large boulders and rocks that you have to squeeze between
- Major Obstacles: The exit presents the biggest challenge and you will probably end up winching, there are some big rocks to get over as well.
- Technical Ability: Advanced
- Vehicle Recommendations: Modified 4×4 with two lockers and a minimum of 35 inch tires
- Elevated Hazard: Summer Monsoon season, rains can cause flash flooding, be extra careful in the summer.
- Comment: This trail is a fun challenging trail, the extreme part is a small portion of the trail but it keeps you busy for the entire stretch. The exit up to the easier part of the trail is a tough steep climb. If you can get someone to the top to be the winch ancher that will help significantly.
