Black Dragon Wash

Did the trail starting on the east side (can take dirt exit off I-70). Very fun lower portion and very scenic. Think it is harder than a 2 or 3. Top (west) section felt a little long and tedious at times.

Quite a few obsticals in the lower half of this trail. Few off camber narrow spots as well. I think I would rate this more of a 4-5 compared to other trails I have ran in the area swazies cabin, Eva conover both seem less challenging to me than this trail. Great trail, good fun.

Took exit 131 off 70 and Worked our way down into the Wash from the Top. Fun Trail very scenic.

I ran this solo E to W (uphill) in my LC100 in early April '20 while pulling a small offroad trailer. The wash was dry. It was a bit of a challenge to follow the track as the UTVs are using both the wash and the road and have created a braided route. This ends up causing you to occasionally dead end at a waterfall or large rock obstacle on occasion but it's not a big deal. The main route has the occasional obstacle but nothing hard. The canyon and the draw above it is beautiful. There is a herd of burro living in the area and we go to see them. We finished with a high speed run through Buckhorn Draw to get up to a campsite on the Wedge Overlook before sunset.

We ran this one backwards to connect it with several other trails. The trail was pretty easy for us but there were a couple spots we had to double check that we were on the right track. It obviously changes with every big rain, so it made us pay attention a little bit more. The petroglyphs were definitely worth walking up too. We camped for free in our big rig on Buckhorn Draw Road and were able to access a ton of great trails. The video shows clips from our one day easy loop through some very cool terrain.

Pics and video to come: Nothing too hard on this trail but it sure has some awesome scenery. Four Jeeps in our crew taking in the relaxing trip. Had lunch on the trail and noticed that there were no noises anywhere.

Was able to do this awesome trail in my stock 2015 Cherokee Trailhawk. There were a couple spots that required some slow crawls over rocks, but didn't have any real difficulty getting through. There wasn't any water for me to cross. Plus the Pictographs were pretty cool as well. All in all, good couple hour trail.

This was the first time I have run this trail. Although there were no challenging sections, this has been one of my favorite trails to this day. The scenery is incredible and you have a good chance of not running into anybody as long as it's not a Saturday in the fall or spring. We combined this with a trip to Jackass Benches and Swasey's Leap. Great short weekend!
