Baptist Draw

Baptist Draw is a 5.5-mile spur off McKay Flats leading to a beautiful overlook at the edge of the Little Ocean Draw Wilderness. Although it is an easy journey over the packed dirt portions, the trail is rough in a few spots with loose and embedded rocks ranging in size up to about soft-ball size, so be sure to air down your tires. One patch of the trail has a small rocky rut cutting across, so take it slow. 4WD will not be necessary, but high clearance is recommended. At the trail's end lies impressive views of the surrounding Swell, including Temple Mountain, Behind the Reef, and even a distant view of the Henry Mountains. Dispersed camping is available in a few locations along the trail, as well as at the end, where a number of both small and large sites line the rim. The area offers no amenities, and the closest town is almost an hour away. Enjoy the solitude!
