Hammer Down


In Lucerne Valley, just outside Johnson Valley, near the famous King of the Hammers trails, is Cougar Buttes where you will find numerous rock crawling trails among the towering, jagged, rocky buttes. Hammer Down Trail is only one of these rough, rocky, rig flexing trails in Cougar Buttes. 

Hammer Down is short,  but slow going and rough. Body damage is common along this trail due to tight, off-camber rock obstacles that will put your rig in some awkward positions and angles.
