👍👍 This trail is so beautiful and quiet. If you never been on this trail before I suggest you get Alltrails app. If I didn't have that I know I would be still lost in those mountains 🤣.

    This trail is so beautiful and quiet. If you never been on this trail before I suggest you get Alltrails app. If I didn't have that I know I would be still lost in those mountains 🤣. It is a little over 5 miles with over 6,000 feet elevation. Make sure you go in the early morning because there is not shade trees and it can get pretty hot 🥵. I took a couple of water containers for me and my dog 🐕.

    Nice long trail that gets you close to a desert canyon and som big rocks. Lots of sprouts you can take to explore. Washes and tumbleweeds galore. Great sunset hike if you can time it.

    we went to this trailhead on a whim but wow the hike really delivered! would recommend we did a 5mi 500ft elevation gain trail that had large rock masses, beautiful clouds and mountains, and sprawling plains. nice variety of scenery and the trail was easy/well marked. we saw only a few other people while on the trail, it felt nice and secluded! no snow cover at this time of year (march), walked on packed dirt/sand

    There are no signs, either at the gate or along the trail. Looking up a map beforehand, or using something like the AllTrails app, is a must. It was a nice hike, nothing spectacular but enjoyable. However, I did see mountain lion tracks along the trail, so be cautious.

    Fun trail and scenic views. Could use better signage. Plenty of short trails that wind back to main one. Ideal for mountain biking, walking was decent.

    Nice trails with beautiful views. We went on a windy spring afternoon.

    Great sunset viewing! Easy terrain in front loop; more intense in the back loop.
