Trail Overview
Twin Hills Loop runs between the base of the Twin Hill and Cerro Rito and offers features for the most well-equipped 4WD and 4X4 vehicles to enjoy. Most of the trail provides room to pass traffic if necessary, with only a few sections being more narrow due to either brush or natural terrain changes. The surface of the trail changes several times from start to finish and features everything from larger loose rocks to soft dirt and a couple of small sandy washes. In addition to the multiple terrain variations, there are several sections of deeper rutting with some being off-camber up to 12 degrees. At the northeast section of the loop, if run in a counter-clockwise direction, there is a drop that is just over 15" on a slightly steeper downhill grade. Just after the drop, there is some rutting that continues on the downhill grade that is off-camber to the driver-side which is primarily loose dirt and rocks. If the loop is driven in a clockwise direction the obstacles listed will be on a steeper grade ascent and 4X4 is recommended. There are several short steeper grade climbs and descents over loose rocks through the entirety of the trail that will be best driven with a 4WD or 4X4 vehicle. Cell service is moderately strong through the entirety of the trail with only a few sections having weaker service. The views and features of this trail are wide and vary with each turn and change in direction.
