Trail Overview

This is a short side road off of Caja Del Rio Road USFS 24, which takes you to a Southern escarpment of the plateau overlooking the Santa Fe River basin below. There are a few disturbed primitive campsites with great views to the South over the Pueblo de Santo Domingo reservation and ranch lands. Cows are grazed in this area and may be on the road or near the corral and its water source. Cellular service is limited but available depending upon location and carrier.
