If it's wet, don't go! Adobe clay is sticky and unforgiving.

Description

Access this trail from Kurt's Trail at the top. Follow the Skull & Crossbones signs.

The trail starts out fast along an adobe ridge before dropping through some junipers and getting steeper with some loose rocks. Further down you can open up the throttle over on more adobe ridges. The trail ends at Elephant Skin Rd. If you want to add on Z-Ditch, go left (west) at Elephant Skin Rd. for a hundred yards or so to the Z-Ditch sign.
