Trail Overview

This route runs through the open highlands of Borrego Mesa, providing expansive views of the surrounding foothills. This section is not maintained and is prone to significant washouts and ruts. In dry conditions, the primary issue is clearance. However, in wet conditions, the road surface is slick, with clay-like dirt. Other attractions along the route include the Borrego Mesa trail, which crosses over into the Pecos Wilderness.

Difficulty

Most of the trail is easy. However, right at the start there are some 8" deep ruts that are not navigable in all vehicles. Further down the trail there are also some small ledges.
