Trail Overview
This 3.3-mile trail goes west from South Elks Road, connecting to another Jeep trail that makes a loop back to South Elks Road. It goes between pinyon pine and sagebrush with big ruts running alongside the trail. It has lots of big dips and G-outs as it crosses ravines running perpendicular through the trail--you'll need high clearance for these dips. The surface is mostly dirt with some loose rock and embedded flat slab rock. A couple of small hill climbs are rockier, with small rock ledges up to a foot tall. It goes along the top of the mesa with views of the other mesas in the area. It has a shallow water crossing over Cottonwood Creek, but it's smooth across a sandy bottom. Although a lot of the trail is wider, it does have a few more narrow sections between the bushes, faint sections, and unmarked intersections. The trail is probably mostly ridden by UTVs and ATVs.
