Mile 1.5
Sharp sandy turn
The legal route turns sharply on sand; tempting tracks continue straight over closed slickrock knolls.
Before you continue
Slow down and make the marked turn. Do not follow tire tracks straight ahead.
What catches people
Momentum and visible tracks can pull a group past the signed route before anyone checks the chevrons.
Conditions change it
Blown sand can soften the corner and partially hide older markings.
Fit
No special equipment beyond what the main route already requires.
