Overview

The BLM-administered area of the Quebradas (Spanish for "breaks") has 4WD trails ranging in difficulty from mild to wild. Known to local offroaders as a test of driver and vehicle alike, Doug's Dilemma is a challenging trail on the "wild" end of the scale. However, it can still be conquered without a purpose-built rock crawling rig or buggy. Though somewhat technical, requiring experience and a capable high-clearance 4WD vehicle, this is a really fun trail. If you enjoy the challenge of picking the right line while crawling over and through rock, you will like Doug's Dilemma!
