Trail Overview

This area has a lot of historic routes that seem not to exist anymore. After a great many private property access failures, this route from the tarmac was successful. This trail will lead through grassy cow pastures and stunning rolling hills. The surface is hard-packed sand but could be muddy when wet based on the ruts in the trail. There are a few cattle gates to open and close. Just follow the "leave it how you found it rule" when you come to them. The trail passed into the Sailor Creek Air Force range without any fence or signage. Watch for low-flying aircraft and be sure to stay within established routes. There are two bars of LTE service that fade in and out.

Difficulty

Some ruts, but they are mostly manageable--a few sections with large piles of tumbleweeds. Be sure to keep the cattle gates open or closed depending on how you came across them.
