Eureka East

Trail Overview

This is a short two-track through a forested environment in the Santa Fe National Forest, following a wide corridor between the pine trees. The track is rutted out in spots, making it uneven and chopped up, and it looks like it can get muddy. There are some embedded flat slab rocks throughout the route, and a couple of embedded rock ledges from the rock layers across the trail. The ledges are generally about a foot tall and can be approached straight on, making them pretty easy to ride up or down. At times, the ruts get deeper on one side of the trail, making it slightly more off-camber. It ends after about a mile on another forest road, which you can take to connect to the Eureka Center ATV trail. The whole route is unmarked and lightly trafficked, so offline maps are helpful, and expect potential log hazards.

Difficulty

Despite a couple of small rock ledges, this trail is still considered easy because the rock ledges are approachable and not off-camber, and the whole route is pretty gradual. Expect a few ruts and mud in the wetter months.
