Make slight left followed by hard left onto rutted dirt road and pass under power lines. You'll end up heading east.

Trail drops down into wash bottom to nice camp spot. Bear right across wash and climb hill of loose boulders. Follow tracklog south. Bear right when you reach T intersection at better road.

Make a hard left turn off good road onto lesser road. (If you continued straight here, you'd end up back at Point #2.) Follow tracklog south as it meaders down and up through network of roads.

After long winding, sometimes difficult descent, you drop into bottom of canyon. Turn left in wide wash bottom and head east. The descent into canyon crosses some private land, the owner of which has been trying to stop people from crossing his land. It is extremely important that you stay on marked route at all times.

You'll turn left here and climb out of wash at the entrance to extreme Helldorado Trail. This trail is part of Area BFE. Helldorado is open to the public if you have a vehicle that can get through it.

Stay right at first turn of triangle intersection. Left is returns to start.

After stretch of easy road with great views of the La Sal Mountains in the background, turn right downhill at a 4-way intersection.

Turn hard right downhill. Good road continues straight, so don't miss this turn.

You arrive at the bottom of a canyon. This is one of two exit points for Helldorado trail. It is worth taking a few minutes to walk up this canyon a short distance to see one of its extreme obstacles.

Interesting open mine adit on right. After this point trail climbs switchbacks out of canyon.

Pass through parking for Area BFE. These lots are full during extreme rock crawling events that are held here annually. For schedule of events, go to www.areabfe.com. A week-long event takes place here during the Easter Jeep Safari.
