Trail Overview

Forest Service Road 134 is a rocky, relatively flat road that traverses down the Cabresto Canyon in Carson National Forest. This mostly gravel and dirt trail doesn't have any difficult obstacles and can be driven by any AWD vehicle. The 15-mile valley road is full of wildflowers, water-flowing creeks, and wildlife. There are wild chipmunks and birds including woodpeckers and cardinals. There are several offshoots along the trail that visitors use as unassigned primitive campgrounds; no permits are required. At the end of the valley, you will be welcomed by an open meadow and stunning views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountain range. This trail is also heavily trafficked by SxSs. There are no toilets available on the trail.
