 The sandy wash section is a slog. Be prepared for slow going but no walking required.

      The section of the wash back to the main group of trails is horrid - nothing but a soft sandy slog.

      Luckily rode this down the east side wash and up the west. Sand was settled somewhat from recent rains so that helped with riding it. Dry and loose would not be fun. Up the west side climbing was stout in places but better than the sandy slog up the wash would’ve been. Good loop.

      Rode in Oct 2020, first (western) half was fun, but last (eastern) half was a soft wash, had to walk
