Description
This is a steep, rocky two-track that was once used as a logging road. This is the only trail of its kind that heads through this corner of the Wild Rivers Trail System just east of Guadalupe Mountain. With that in mind, you'll probably have to connect back to the trails via road, or make this an out-and-back knowing all the descent on the north end will be a tough climb in the other direction.
