Trail Overview

This is a very scenic ride through the Hieroglyphic Mountains of the Boulders OHV area. This trail is sometimes called a rollercoaster ride, as it has steep ups and downs, with one blind hilltop that adds a little pucker factor. The trail will most certainly offer you some pinstriping with the desert vegetation. You will be rewarded with great views from the hilltops, though.

Difficulty

Most obstacles can be bypassed, but there is one ledge to climb that will offer stock vehicles, especially longer wheelbases, a challenge.

Trail was fun. Definitely do NOT follow the trail signs that are there. You MUST keep the GPS running and follow this. The loop follows trails 5, 8, 9, 10, and 11. It took us just over 2.5 hours. It was a really fun ride. Plenty of areas to go fast, do some rock climbing and some amazing views I will for sure come back and do this loop.

Fun trail, the lower part is a wash, but the upper loop is off camber, lots of sharp turns and a few rock ledges, enough to keep your full interest, and on your toes, not easy, but not difficult, just a long, fun trail.
