Description

This is a busy 4WD Road serving as a connector for several trails in the area. The road is maintained and in good shape up to the Hermosa Creek Trail with ample camping and RV, ATV traffic.

Going west along this road beyond the upper Hermosa Creek Trail, the road crosses a large creek then begins to be more 4WD-like with steeper climbs and more rugged conditions.
