Schofield Canyon Trail - FS 5007A

Trail Overview

The south end of Trail 5007A starts at a couple of fence posts and a trail sign along Upper Rio Penasco Road, across from a small parking area. The trail is rutted and grassy, with a layer of scattered loose rocks packed down into the dirt, and roots stretching across the trail. It immediately starts climbing up a shelf cut into the hillside along a ravine, on a semi-steep slope, until it comes to the intersection with the Shortcut Trail, where it turns sharply left in a grassy meadow. The rest of the trail is also covered in a layer of loose rocks as it meanders around the hillside through forested sections and meadows. After 2.7 miles, it turns into a road designation that is similarly rocky, which takes you to Benson Ridge Road.

Difficulty

This is an easy ATV trail despite a consistent layer of loose rocks. Most of the rocks are packed down, and the loamy soil has good traction, so it's not too difficult, just a bumpy ride. The trail was clear of any logs, but there is always potential for new downfall hazards. Expect a couple of semi-steep spots.
