Trail Overview
This route descends almost a thousand feet from Carson National Forest and Lagoona Seca Mesa to meander 5.5 miles along Munoz Canyon before meeting the Hill Road Pueblito trail. Initially a well kept, graded NFS road rolling among ponderosa pines, blue spruce and the occasional juniper tree, after crossing over into BLM land the trail becomes a good deal rougher, descending into desert juniper and pinon pines before making way to sagebrush, hoodoos and various rock formations. Deer, jackrabbits and occasionally elk can all be spotted along this trail.
