Trail Overview

This is a fairly difficult trail that will take you through a 4.5-mile wash with many different obstacles. Each obstacle has different ways to surmount it at different levels of difficulty. There are several small waterfalls to get over as well as many tight squeezes. The challenge is getting through this trail unscathed. Make sure you are prepared and do not run this trail alone. This trail could be considered the bigger brother to Motino Wash as it's much more difficult to get through.
