Bulldog Canyon - Weekday Full Moon Night Run
Details
Bulldog Canyon a desert trail for day or night. We will hit the trail in the daylight and finish under a full moon, hopefully clear of clouds.
Our last daytime trip there was June 2019. A recent daytime trek through the canyon a few weeks ago found a few changes: interesting washouts that made for more flexing of suspension, a bit more loose rocks and small boulders on the trail and some changes to the routes. The trail was still doable by a stock 4x4 vehicle with off-road tires.
