Trail Overview

A challenging climb through multiple levels of vegetation and terrain that rewards you with panoramic views of the Dutch Flat region upon reaching the summit. Enjoy the view and walk the next section of the trail, because it's a steep drop that starts with an off-camber downhill rock crawl that will make even the most advanced riders hold their breath for a second.

Difficulty

Most of the trail is a 4/10 but there is one section just after the summit that is a 20' downhill, off-camber rock section that needs to be negotiated very carefully as there is a sheer cliff on the other side. Once that section is navigated, it resumes to a 4/10 trail for the remainder.

Access Description

Use your favorite trail from the south side of Lake Havasu to collect into the Standard Wash trail system. Continue east as the trails will funnel into a single trail at the top of Standard Wash. Once you arrive at the cattle guard, turn around, and you can't miss the trailhead.
