Trail Overview
Trail 1 is a 1.3-mile loop off of South Elks Road. It's a narrower Jeep trail on hardpack dirt, between small bushes and pinyon pine on a gravelly surface. It joins up with a wider Jeep road as it makes a loop. The surface of the trail is mostly dirt, but it has some embedded slab rock, one section that is more uneven on the slab, and larger loose rocks. It's pretty narrow in spots with branches sticking out but is wide enough for a Jeep. It's rutted in spots down the middle of the trail. You get nice views of the Abajo Mountains and it goes around a mine.
