This trail is actually a spur drainage wash that flows into another trail we call "White Wash". It seems to change quite a bit every time we go up it. This time the first obstacle that I call 'the squeeze' had been eroded out and wasn't as steep and narrow as before. It used to be a guaranteed body damage obstacle, but that has changed. The first water fall lost its undercut edge and was easier this year. The third water fall had been filled in with dirt from moving water and was almost gone. It is still a good trail. A lot harder for full-sizes in the first two sqeezes though.

Me comming up the first water fall. This thing used to have rock sticking out on the left side that would catch rockers panels every once in a while. Somebody either broke it off with a hammer, or the weather got the best of it.

and the yota goes up it... it then ties back into the main wash from there. We used to rate this trail at about 4+, I think now just a plain 4 is more fitting. The pictures don't do much of it justice.

The white wash trail is probably rated around 3.5 or so... Not much to it.

It was one of those trail runs that wasn't planned. We just decided to run it when we got off work yesterday.

What is up with track bars lately? I busted mine in Moab and had to have it welded back up at Moab Offroad, while I was there another guy came in with a broken one... must be the broken track bar month.

It was fun. We hadn't ran the trail for over a year. We have quite a few wash trails with some good boulder sections... It's just that the boulders are always in different positions when we go up them. :D
