“This sand trap is a power workout, or a long hike down a sandbox if you don't have fat tires! ”

Description

Varying between moderate and deep loose sand, this runs down a large wash that is likely not rideable on narrower mtb tires. Even with 2.8" tires this is a slow slog... much faster (and more fun) on fatbike tires.

There are no obvious connections to the adjacent trail on the E side of this trail, so you'll need to hike out of the wash to find that trail if you get tired of slogging down the arroyo.
