Trail 1343 is a solid track for beginners to the off-road world. The trail is comprised of hard pack dirt and sand with many moguls to bounce around on. After a good rain, you will find mud holes to splash through. There are also some small off-camber hills and rutted-out sections.
Many people use 1343 to connect the Cottonwood Staging Area to the more Southern trails that lead to the Saguaro Lake coves. You will encounter additional traffic on this trail on the weekends as it is part of a loop that the UTV rental service uses.
There are only a couple of camp spots along this route, but you will be pleased with the views of Four Peaks. This section of the Rolls suffered from a wildfire a few years ago. While the fire took its toll, new growth can be seen all around this area.
