Description
This is a gravel road circumnavigating most of the Solitario. This road will connect you to the Tres Papalotes Group Site with its well (the only source of water nearby). The Road to Nowhere is a great side trail starting about 1.0 mile south of the campground. To complete the circle, there are two options, either the Inner Solitario Loop Trail or the Outer Solitario Loop Trail.
