Trail Overview

This rough, narrow, and rocky trail travels through the thick scrub oak along the eastern boundary of the San Pedro Parks Wilderness. If the trail is wet, some places become slick mud. The acorns from the scrub oak and lush grass attract Elk and Bears to this area. There are numerous animal tracks and signs along this route.

Muddy/Wet
A lot of deep puddles. There were many new trails cut to help get around them. A number of downed trees as well. I only got in a few miles before deciding to turn around at the third and largest downed tree.
