Recommended Users: Hikers. Route. 2.7 miles in length. Difficulty: Moderate. From the trailhead, take the Cove Wash West Trail and drop into Cove Wash. Follow the wash to the east. The wash runs through a varied landscape: deep and somewhat narrow rock walls, to wide open desert. Mostly sandy, there is a short spurt of slick rock around Stucki Springs Road. Just before the wash crosses Stucki Springs Road at about 1.3 miles, you will encounter a 10 foot drop. Detour up and around this point back into the wash on the other side of the road. Continue in the wash until its apparent end at the St. George city limits, distinguished by a large wall of fill in the wash.
