Trail Overview

This is a narrow trail mostly suited for ATVs and small 4x4s due to the creek crossing between two large trees. My Jeep Wrangler JLU did fine, but we had to get creative to get through some narrowly spaced trees. Although short in distance, the scenery is beautiful, and wildlife viewing is highly probable. This trail crosses Paddy Creek, which originates up on top of the Escudilla Mountain and generally runs year-round. The crossing is between narrowly spaced trees with a fairly deep crossing, which may cause some larger or low clearance vehicles difficulty.

Difficulty

Narrow passages between trees, especially at the water crossing. The water crossing itself is in a fairly deep "ditch" which may be better suited for high clearance vehicles.
