Trail Overview

This trail is just off Ellsworth Road and takes you right to Bulldog Canyon trail. Most of it is a sandy wash that weaves around the Arizona desert. Expect some canyon walls, with one rocky section and a dirt and rock hill halfway through the trail. You will need a code to access this trail. The code can be found on the government recreation website.

Difficulty

Most of the trail is a sandy wash that weaves around the AZ desert. There is one 50-foot dirt/rocky hill that could get tricky for some stock 4x4s, but anything with a lift and 30" tires could easily make it up. Then back to sandys washes with canyons and very pretty sunset views.

As described by the reviews. Entered from Usery, turned around at the narrow spot with the large rock about 2/3 in. Fun trip..
