Description
The signs at both the east and west entrances to this trail are easy to miss, but the trail is right under the power line which is easily spotted. The trail was an old road but has now been reclaimed by the desert into singletrack and is even ill-defined in places; your shins will likely make friends with at least one cactus. Overall, It's not technical and it makes part of a nice route with the Papalote Encino Trail that can be done from the Sauceda ranger station
