Rated: 8

  • Trail Length: About 10 miles from start to finish
  • 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.

  • There is an air-down and parking area, to be determined.
