Trail Overview
Burro Schmidt Alternative (BLM EP103) is a challenging route featuring various steep hills on sand and rock surfaces with stunning views from the top. Limited sight distance throughout the trail requires heightened awareness of oncoming traffic, and a 4x4 with high clearance is highly recommended. Four low is strongly advised as well. This trail is an alternative to get you to the tunnel, but it is much more challenging. It is also not a smart option if your group size is large due to the limited sight distance.
