Trail Overview

ATV Trail 956 goes through a scenic high desert terrain of rolling hills with juniper trees. The trail surface is a mix of dirt and loose rock, with several sections more heavily covered in scattered loose rock. The trail goes up and over the small hills, with small climbs and descents, but is overall pretty easy, remaining wide and gradual throughout the route. There is nice shade from lots of trees. It started at a trail sign indicating a 50-inch width designation, and is easy to follow. The area is very green in the springtime, riding next to lots of grassy fields, with a scenic view of the mountains in the distance. The trail follows irrigation tubing for a lot of the route.

Access Description

Take Country Road 2B east from State Road 435 for about 1.3 miles to access a good place for parking/staging on national forest land. Note that this requires several shallow rocky creek crossings across the Tularosa River to access the parking. The creek crossings are less than a foot deep, but high clearance 4x4 is advised.
