Trail Overview
Prather Canyon trail entrance is located immediately off Highway 24 south of Mayhill, NM. The trail features a few dispersed campsites with spectacular views and good cell service. The surface changes from light rocks and dirt to a rocky surface with some rock gardens along the way, and some lightly rutted and muddy areas that will become worse with rain and snow melt. There are a few rocky grades, but the trail is easily accessible by most 4x4's even in the wintertime. The trail is primarily single-vehicle wide with a few places to pass or turn around, however, the trail ends 1.2 miles from the entrance with a posted notice from NFS.
