EC1263

In just under 2.5 miles, this trail climbs 151 feet and drops 43 feet, starting on Pole Trail Road. The surface transitions as you progress: beginning as a very sandy trail, then becoming hard-packed sand, and finally mostly small pebble-sized rocks. The beginning on the west side at Pole Trail Road has been regraded, making the entrance hard to find, so keep your eyes open. After half a mile, the trail climbs up and follows a ridgeline, giving beautiful views of the surrounding area in all directions. You'll enjoy views of the Trigo Mountains and other surrounding peaks as you traverse the elevated terrain. The trail maintains easy conditions until the very east side, where it drops into a canyon and back out, adding a final technical element.
