Come explore the beautiful Chihuahuan Desert!
This moderate-difficult 2.6 mile trail starts with a steep descent down old jeep road; transition to relatively well maintained trail with technical sections into the canyon, leveling out along the ridgeline, then another steep and technical descent down the backside before becoming an easy leisurely stroll down the trail. We’ll reconnect with the old jeep road and have one final steep ascent back up to the start of the trail.
Bring: water, hiking shoes/boots, comfortable clothing, snacks. Hiking sticks, map, and binoculars are optional.
Reservations required; to reserve your spot, call the office at (915) 444-9100.
