Trail Overview
Open mesa plains with a web-like network of dirt roads with the occasional rocky obstacle and/or ledge. The general area is wide-open with scenic views of surrounding mesas. If you navigate deep enough into this area a couple nice rocky canyons can be found. Watch out for cattle as this is a commonly used grazing range.

Difficulty
These dirt roads are relatively tame and can be navigated by just about any vehicle, although if you are not careful you may find yourself in a more difficult section of ledges, loose rock, deep rutted sand. If unsure a little walk ahead will reveal the potential difficulty of the trail.
