Overview

Rocky stream bed features optional extreme obstacles.

All of the hard-core action on this trail takes place in the first 1.3 miles, where the trail follows a rocky wash bottom. This section can be bypassed by following an unmarked forest road that meanders along the wash. Most people exit the wash at Waypoint 02 to avoid an extreme obstacle, dubbed “The Filter” by some. Route is open to non-street-legall vehicles, but the wash is difficult for ATVs and UTVs.

Rating

Difficult
Trail Ratings Defined

Wash bottom is a mix of loose and solid rock with ledges up to 2-ft. high. Tires are often forced against sharp rock edges leading to sidewall cuts. Make sure to carry a spare. Standing water in places increases the difficulty. “The Filter” obstacle is primarily for rock buggies, but some vehicles with huge tires can get up by winching. Breakdowns and body damage are likely on this obstacle.

We went here May 2026. Trail is open. This is a typical rock crawling trail. Short, but full of obstacles. Definitely rated difficult, and not for beginners. Better do not go here alone. In our group, people got often stuck and needed to be pulled out, spotting was required regularly, and somebody blew a tire on sharp ledge. It took us quite a long time to navigate 1.3 miles, but it was fun!
