Description

Start at the 10K Trail parking lot. The trail begins near the pit toilet structure and immediately descends steeply into the forest. The trail winds with numerous drops and many jumps and log crossings. It is overgrown in sections but easy enough to follow.

The trail eventually deposits you into the Capulin Snow Play area with the option to continue on the other side. Suggest riding this in the downhill direction only (as mapped).
