Pozo Tank Loop

Trail Overview

The trail features a high-centered middle hump with signs of water damage and several off-camber sections that require careful navigation. The approach from Highway 89 is relatively smooth, with soft sand and minimal obstacles, making for a relaxing drive. However, the terrain becomes more challenging after making a right turn onto the secondary route. A campsite is located close to the road, offering a convenient spot to stop and set up camp. As you enter the main trail, be sure to keep the gate closed to maintain proper access control. The trail lacks amenities such as trash disposal, water supply, and limited cell service.
