Trail Overview
This is a great beginner trail full of hiking, camping and hunting opportunities. The trail is about 28 miles with moderate traffic. There are a plethora of spurs that lead to ATV trails, other trails and camping spots. The road begins past the gas station in High Rolls. Take a right hand turn at Westside Road and follow the winding road past the houses until the pavement ends. At all Y intersections, keep left to stay on the road. The trail ends with a steep ascent and amazing views of Lincoln National Forest and back to Sacramento River Road less than 20 miles back to Cloudcroft.
