Description

Sotol Forest runs North-South along the Franklin Mountain range. It is a fun singletrack with numerous boulder obstacles to negotiate. This is one of the more technical trails on the East side of the Franklins, but very rideable.

Fun, yet difficult and very technical trail. One of the best and most interesting in the Franklin Mountains.
