Very straight shot across the desert landscape. Great to use as a loop with the "East Coast View" trail.

      Challenging in some areas for beginners, most notably on the south end of the trail (approaching East Coast View) and when crossing washes. Had to hike a bike in some steep and loose spots. Best to follow tire tracks and to keep an eye out as to not loose the trail
