Trail Overview
A wide dirt track through the Gallinas district of Cibola National Forest. This route skirts the base of the Gallinas peak and is primarily used as a quick through road from the south side to the north side of the area. There are minimal washouts or other obstacles on this road, and it could easily be completed in a sedan or other FWD vehicle. There is a little bit of uneven terrain near the base of Cougar Mountain on the north side of the Gallinas district, but other than that, expect and easy drive through.
