Schofield Canyon Trail - FS 5007A

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.
