Trail Overview
This route starts at US Route 64. Initially following oil roads on BLM land, it climbs a little over 700 feet through sagebrush, juniper and pinon pine to the top of Laguna Seca Mesa and Carson National Forest. There are a lot of stunning views and vistas on both sides of the trail, out to the San Juan Mountains in Colorado southwest to Santos Peak While initially rough, once it crosses over to Carson National Forest it becomes a well kept, NFS road cutting through ponderosa pines, blue spruce and gambel oak.

Difficulty
The road is narrow in some places and has some bare, uneven rock while on the way to the top of the mesa, but once you enter Carson National Forest the road is fairly well-groomed.
