Description

This trail, part of the Continental Divide Trail (CDT), is really a road but it looks like singletrack in spots. It is good for a workout even if not technical. The nearby Salazar Trail #14 is much more interesting.

Note the USFS map is incorrect. It shows a route that crosses the fence 1000 feet south along the highway, then bushwhacks up the creek. The new trailhead is a large flat area off the highway. The entrance drops along the bank steeply so it is easy to overlook.

One of many muddy stream crossings on last quarter of 100 mile segment. This one was unrideable.
