Description

This is one of the cutoffs from the halfway point of La Cueva back to the parking lot. I've only ridden this particular trail a handful of times. The top part has some fun singletrack, but the bottom is a bit of a sleeper. Like the rest of the trails here, the tread is platy limestone and drypack.

Really cool trail if you live in West Texas or Southeast New Mexico. Accessible and not too much of a drive.
