Bradshaw Trail

[FrankRoams]

Thinking of Doing Red Canyon to Bradshaw Trail. I would start at I-10/Summit RD Exit and finish in Blythe taking the 78 up to the 10.
Google calls it 83 miles of dirt, with about 4.5hrs to complete, if you don't stop, which we will. Any of you done this?

Is this better as an overnight trip, or can it be done in a day comfortably? I still need to factor in getting to the trailhead and back home from the exit.

This is looking more and more like an overnight the more I research it. Thanks in advance!

I did it starting near the Salton Sea. The first 20-30 were really boring, slow going, rocky, sandy, etc... then it opened up with some nice desert flora. We did it in a day fairly easily in a stoc Tacoma. I was pretty disappointed in this route to be honest, although we just did the main trail and didn't explore any of the side trips.
