Spanish Wash

Dogs Unknown

Don't expect to run much through the fine, deep silty sand.

For anyone unfortunate enough to have chosen the Cottonwood Hills Trail or Bracken's Loop, the Spanish Wash may well be your fastest escape back to Prospector Trail from the torture. Sadly, it is torture as well.

As far as washes go, this one is pretty bad, as it is almost entirely sand. There is one area of flat rock about halfway through that offers some respite from constant sinking and trudging, but it's about 50 feet. Suitable for masochists and hardship training runs, not much else.
