Adobe Town North Rim

Trail Overview

This is a two-track trail passing through a variety of landscapes leading to Manuel Gap, a high point overlooking the Adobe Town basin and rock formations below. The trail begins in a wide-open plain covered with clusters of sage and yellow flowers in the spring. Wild horses are a frequent sight as the area is also a BLM horse management area. The trail becomes rockier and less apparent in a few sections approaching Manuel Gap as the rock formations close in and become more abundant. Manuel Gap is a great place to further explore the rock formations on foot.
