Trail Overview

This is one of the offshoots of the Locket Meadow Trail. It's mostly a Forest Service road, but it does become narrow in some places. It climbs up and then descends back down. The terrain is not complicated, yet it's not a fast trail to trek. It has exposed rocks, roots, and some ruts, but none are complicated. Just take the time and air down before heading off. It's really a nice adventure. You will see scrubs, aspen trees, and of course, big pines.

Difficulty

This isn't difficult at all, but you should air down if possible to help with the ride. It's a washboard road at first, then it becomes a little rocky with some exposed roots.

Super easy fire road with ample options for dispersed camping. The further off Hwy 60 you go the less and less people you will see. Definitely recommend for dispersed camping if you’re headed up to Sunset Crater and Wupatki NMs for an overnighter or two.
