Easy power line road for the first few miles. The down hill section was very washed out with boulders from 18" to 24". A few steep shelves about 2' feet deep. It is slow going and make sure you pick good lines and you will be fine. I would recommend 4x4, good ground clearance and lockers. I did this in a 2016 stock Jeep Unlimited Rubicon. Bring plenty of water and some kind of shade.

Burro Wash Trail (4/19/19)
Decent trail, mostly power line road with a few decent hills to crawl down on the way to the Colorado River. Climbing back up is decent. 4x4 highly recommended. Stock could probably make it as long as you pick good lines. Good ground clearance will help out through the hills as there are some larger rocks/boulders throughout the trail.
