Trail Overview
Easy to moderate, out and back, dirt trail off of Highway 50 near the town of Cotopaxi. Dirt, loose gravel, and occasional embedded rock. Scenic route with mountain views, PiƱon-juniper woodland, unique rock structures, and dispersed camping spots. The trail does get tight and shrubby towards the peak of the trail. Quiet and secluded with possible wildlife sightings of deer and overhead birds of prey.
Difficulty
Easy to moderate (can vary with conditions). Dirt, loose gravel, and occasional embedded rock with ruts and washouts (especially after storms). Mud sections when wet. Rocky patches require careful tire placement. Muddy in spring or after rain. Dry, dusty, and washboarded in summer. Possible snow/ice in winter, depending on elevation.
