Jackass Benches

Head west on I-70. Take Exit 131 and proceed to the large, dirt parking area on the north side of the highway. This marks the end of Buckhorn Draw Road. Follow Buckhorn Draw Road in reverse to Waypoint 9. This is the trailhead for Swasey's Leap. To complete this trail from north to south as described here, run Swasey's Leap to Waypoint 12 (or, better yet, run it all the way then return to Waypoint 12). Jackass Benches goes northeast from this waypoint. To complete this trail from south to north, run Swasey's Leap to Waypoint 10 and turn right onto Jackass Benches. Another option to go from south to north is to run Rattlesnake Flat to Swasey's Leap, Waypoint 4, Swasey's Leap from Waypoint 4 to Waypoint 10, and turn right onto Jackass Benches. If you are just trying to connect to Black Dragon Wash, this is the quickest route.
