Papalote Llano

Trail Overview

Papalote Llano follows a narrow, rutted desert two-track. The road surface is uneven with erosion ruts and loose sections, and thick desert vegetation crowds the corridor. Expect tight clearances and potential pinstriping along your vehicle. Along the route, you'll encounter a historic windmill and a water trough situated near the center of the road. A designated campsite is located near the windmill, with the main Papalote Llano camp positioned at the end of the trail. The road terminates at a dead end, so all travel is in and out the same way.
