Trail Overview
This loop trail starts and ends on EC1269, circling around on a ridgeline that provides 360 degree views of the surrounding area including the Trigo Mountains. The surface is hard pack dirt with rocks ranging in size from pebbles to small baseballs. The track can be hard to follow because it's unmarked and the entire surface is covered with the same pebble sized rocks, making the trail blend into the surrounding terrain. Navigation requires attention to existing tire tracks and terrain features. There is an old remnant of a historical cabin which serves as a helpful landmark, marking the turning point on the trail as it heads back to complete the loop.
Difficulty
This is an easy trail from a technical standpoint, with the main challenge being navigation. The hard-pack dirt surface with pebbles to small baseball-sized rocks is straightforward to drive, but following the unmarked track through uniform rocky terrain requires attention. The ridgeline position provides good sightlines to help orient yourself. The historical cabin serves as a useful waypoint.
