All of the hard-core action on this trail takes place in the first 1.3 miles, where the trail follows a rocky wash bottom. This section can be bypassed by following an unmarked forest road that meanders along the wash. Most people exit the wash at Waypoint 02 to avoid an extreme obstacle, dubbed “The Filter” by some. Route is open to non-street-legall vehicles, but the wash is difficult for ATVs and UTVs.
