About This Trail

The trail is named T5005. You can find some intersection with other trails on T5005 until you reach the other trailhead. The trail is in good condition, rocky in some sections, but not difficult to walk. The last half of a mile is the more steep part of the trail, but it is not a problem because of the beautiful aspen trees. The big part of the trail is shaded by the pine trees, and you can see the beauty of the mountains, arroyos, and plants during the rainy season. It is fascinating to listen to the aspen trees. It is possible that butterflies of all colors will be with you. Hawks, squirrels and birds will welcome you here.
