Old El Compadre Loop

Trail Overview

This short loop takes you through an old section still marked as El Compadre Road, now dotted with houses and parcels of land for sale. The route features one very steep section that may require four-wheel drive, although there is a bypass available. It's a picturesque journey, passing small creeks and eventually looping back through the Neji Indian Reservation and town. Locals on the reservation have indicated that it's fine to pass through, and there's even a small store in town. The road is lined with a half-dozen ranches and stunning areas with ancient oak trees, making it a delightful loop to explore if you have an hour to spare.
