Moss Wash – The Easy Way, Kingman, AZ

As some of our friends did not want to drive any difficult trail, we did this time Moss Wash – The Easy Way. Two years ago, we had been running ‘The Hard Way‘, which is a different animal. The trail was mostly easy at the time, we were running it. There was just one steep climb and probably not everyone might like the shelf road on the way out (especially, if there are some bigger rocks lying around in the middle of the road, like in our case).

We met at the Blake Ranch exit and drove a mellow road. On the way, we had to register at a kiosk.

Then we arrived at a closed bat cave on the way to the other side of the Hualapai Mountains.
We stopped and took some picture from the area.
All jeeps and even the toyotas did fine all day :).
Excellent view from the other side of the mountains.
