Trail Description Some trails are quite steep and rocky. Some follow valleys and creek beds so are less rocky and much more gradual. Can be accessed right from the campground. Thousands of acres of National Forest land and BLM land to ride on. In addition to the marked trails, there are endless miles of unmarked trails. You would need to pack in to reach some of the more outlying regions. Area is quite rocky overall and arid. Spectacular views from the trails.
