Trail Overview

This relatively flat, sandy route travels on the east side of the Veranito Wilderness Study Area and the south side of the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge. There are some erosion issues, especially toward the end of the route. It dead ends at a geological gap curiously named Puertecito of Bowling Green. Some ruins, with restricted access, are visible on the hillside.

Nice scenic trail with lots of curves. Trail does have about 3 turn off trails that dead end in about 1.5 miles from the main trail. Very nice trail for beginner riders as most of the road is compact and not sandy or gravel. Started at the OHV main area and went to bowling green point which was about 8 miles one way. Highly recommend for beginners or even for the rider that wants to explore the area.
