Detailed Trail Description:

On the fence of about going because of the the obstacles, then this video will help. 13 Mile Loop Fun

  • A beautiful scenic drive

  • Stock Jeeps are welcome

  • Rate 3

  • 4WD must be functioning. If broken, you are not allowed

  • Recommend at least All Terrain Tires. Will be driving in and out of sand and the more tracton the better

  • A spare tire is required

  • Desert pin striping possible

  • This run involves driving on soft sand and small dunes so we will be airing down at the station

  • Also features an optional obstacle to introduce you to rock crawling. (There was two but nature chewed one into a non beginner crawl)

  • An optional dune climb

  • There is a mandatory small hill climb (this is the reason it is rated a 3 instead of 2) which can include the optional V-notch climb. Great photo op
    *A planned stop at the  petroglyphs.

  • Making lists is part of the job

  • Plan on the day for this run. With the hour plus drive in both directions and the trail itself, the morning and some afternoon is pretty much consumed by your Jeep. But this run is well worth the time.
