EP 11 is one of the more adventurous trails in the El Paso Mountain area, offering a mix of steep climbs, technical obstacles, and fantastic scenery. The western section features several short but intense hill climbs, where you'll find yourself looking straight up or down as you navigate the rugged terrain. From there, the trail presents optional rock challenges before transitioning into the Mormon Flat area, where narrow, rocky shelf roads require patient driving. Low-range gearing and high clearance are highly recommended for most of the route.
Passengers will appreciate the ever-changing landscape, which ranges from sandy washes to an arch and then to higher-elevation flats and eventually leads into tight canyon sections with dramatic twists and turns.
For those looking to extend their adventure, a few pre-disturbed campsites are available along the route, offering a scenic place to stay under the stars.
