Ocotillo Wells - The Goat Trails

November, 2007

After having turkey dinner with the family, we spent the remainder of Thanksgiving weekend camping at Ocotillo Wells. This is one of my favorite places to wheel because it has such a wide variety of terrain and it's only 90 miles from my house. There's destinations as easy or as difficult as you want. People that say there's no difficult runs at Ocotillo Wells are just not looking in the right places.

Short wheelbase was a plus Needed the front locker here Eventually got over this

The "goat trails" as we've come to call them is a nice group of canyons and crevaces north of Blowsand Hill. Plenty of good boulders, hills and ledges to choose from.
