S15 Road

Crossing the entirety of Atkinson Mesa, S15 is an easy 10-mile drive traversing to a scenic canyon and rocky ledge road. The trail can be completed in 2WD with durable tires and high ground clearance. The road is wide enough for all full-width vehicles. The rock and dirt ledge beyond the uniquely placed cattle gate is the most challenging section but appears to be graded often. Cattle ranchers mainly use the route to gain access to the Spring Creek portion of the Paradox Trail. The landscape atop the mesa is open meadows and dense juniper with sprawling views of the surrounding mountains. No established or primitive campsites can be found along the route.
