Trail Overview

When the sign at the trail entrance states, "Not suitable for passenger cars", they aren't joking. This is a heavily unmaintained trail and is not recommended for anything with low clearance. Deep mud ruts are present throughout, both dry and wet. This trail may be even more challenging during/after a lot of rain, as the water runoff scars prove. The end of the trail leads to Cebolla Mesa campground with beautiful overlooking views of the Rio Grande Gorge and River.

Hard pack dirt single lane with occasional areas to pass another vehicle. Some dry but rutted sections that would be mud holes in wet weather. Several improved dry campsites with picnic tables and fire rings at the end of the road. Pit toilets near the campsites. Limited view of the river but there is a trailhead down to the river from the campground.
