Trail Overview

The Oyster Shell Wash is a beautiful canyon that goes for miles, but you are stopped after one mile for vehicle traffic due to a narrow shelf of rocks over 20 feet tall. The track is mostly sandy with a few rocks to maneuver over or around. There is a small turn around at the end, but there is not a lot of space. Plan accordingly with multiple vehicles.
