A sandy hike that involves rock scrambling to lead in and out of the wash. Great beginner trail that illustrates how the power of water formed much of the local landscape. Be prepared to get muddy and wet. Do not hike when there is a potential for flash flooding.

Trailhead: Access near the Bullfrog Visitor Center. Located approximately 100 miles south of Interstate 70, just north of the launch ramp on Hwy 276.
