Santa Fe National San Geronimo Back Road

Trail Overview

Starting on the north side the trail has breathtaking views in the National Forest. As the service road progresses, it changes from a service road to sharp gravel and jagged rocks. It then transitions to rough terrain with spectacular views--definitely a road less traveled. It's definitely not a trail for a beginner off-roader or intermediate. The best way to describe this route is, "the best views come from the hardest climbs."

Difficulty

This trail is very rocky and difficult to navigate without proper navigation tools. 4x4 and understanding of being off-camber are recommended.

Status Reports

Started on the Pecos Barillas 83 from the west. Gate was closed near Commissary Creek.

This is not a difficult or technical trail. I completed in a stock Bronco Badlands with Sasquatch package with no issues. Unsure why the trail rating is marked as difficult with a high technical rating by OnX.
