Trail Overview

This trail extends from El Compadre Road to the Control Tower Trail near the control tower. Some sections on the El Compadre side are rough and rutted, necessitating four-wheel drive, but overall, it is a fairly easy trail. Along the way, you'll pass by 4 or 5 ranches. At one of the larger ranches, identifiable by its stop signs, there are a few dogs that might give chase if you're on a motorcycle, so exercise caution. The trail winds through oak trees, offering beautiful scenery with numerous birds and small animals, making for a very interesting and enjoyable drive.

Difficulty

There is one difficult section from the El Compadre side that would be made much easier with 4WD. There is also a water crossing that was only 12" deep at time of mapping but please consider weather conditions on trails with water crossings.
