Description

Turn off of Rasmussen Road Extended (8112) at the F Road Cutoff, and quickly turn south. This track is fairly fast and sandy hardpack, perhaps slightly faster than Into The Vortex (BLM 8112J). There are several short, steep hillclimbs in The Vortex that make this out-and-back site worth the trip!
