Trail Overview

This scenic loop begins and ends on different sections of the trail known as 2 de Abril, intersecting with Middle Road before looping back to its starting point. Entering from the southern end, you'll pass a small church and immediately encounter a short, rocky climb along a mild shelf road. From there, the trail transitions into a mostly straight path that alternates between sandy stretches and rough, chunky terrain. After a sharp 90-degree right turn, the road continues straight for a couple of miles before reaching a section covered in baseball-sized rocks, which lasts for about a mile. The trail then smooths out into a soft track that winds through beautiful desert scenery, featuring towering cardon cacti and a diverse mix of native vegetation offering a rewarding and picturesque finish.
