Trail Information

Highlights

Burro Wash, located just south of Boulder City is a 4x4 trail that ends in a cove on the Colorado River. This trail is perfect during the Summer, as a get away from the heat for some relaxation and water activities. This scenic route follows a dirt and rock trail that initially runs along the power lines before passing through Black Canyon and traveling down a wash. This trail will have some minor washed out areas, slightly off camber spots, and minor fun rocky obstacles. Bring your food, drinks, shade tents, trunks and inflatables.

Just did a pre run of this for when I have some guests coming next month. It's a rough road (ie, not fast) but I'd call it a 2 until maybe the very last drop into the wash... that I could call a 3.. if that. Took about an hour from start to river. Pretty unexceptional run except for the end. Having a nice cool river to cool down is certainly a pay off.

This was a fun trail that gets better the closer you get to the river. Starts off in the desert running power line trails then descends some switchbacks and runs through a wash. The last descent leads through a canyon and ends at the Colorado River. Only a few others at the river when I got there. Great place to stop and relax before heading back.

Definitely not a difficult trail anymore. A two would be pushing the rating. Great ending at the cove. Worth the visit to go BBQing and to spend 3+ hours at water.

An update: as of 4/06/21. Someone apparently used a tracked vehicle and graded the entire trail. The link is to a video by a local wheeler. Lot's of local folks upset as the more challenging areas of the trail have been wiped out.

Our little off road group hit this trail today. One Gladiator sport 37" tires and 3.5 lift. A JKU 35" tires and 3 lift, a stock 2 door Jl sport and a Tacoma trd 4x4. You can divide the trail in 3 parts, a easy part more or less the first half of the trail, a rocky part that you will need some clearance and a "difficult " part at the end that for sure you need LOW 4WD and a spotter if you are stock. But nothing impossible, is a fun trail to do specially if you have , or your friends, stock 4WD cars. An advice, look for the pointy rocks all over the trail.
