| DESCRIPTION |
Primarily a jeep trail, this area offers superb views of Four Peaks, Bartlett Lake and the surrounding desert hills. The main trail to the south is very tough, with deep washouts, sand gullies and huge rocks. You really need a modifed jeep, a motorcycle, or high cleareance ATV for this trail. If you continue past the first mile, plan on doing some damage to your vehicle. There are no services and it is slow going, so food, water, a repair kit, and a winch are strongly recommended. For an easier time, follow the sand wash north from the staging area for a short but fun ATV trail with great turns.
