This graded dirt road offers a scenic and easy connection between State Roads 96 and 126, weaving through the beautiful landscapes of northern New Mexico. The route is suitable for most passenger vehicles and is a great option for drivers seeking a relaxed off-road drive through pine-dotted meadows and open forest. The trail loosely follows the edge of Jarosa Canyon and includes crossings of the Rio Puerco and Poleo Creek, adding some scenic variety along the way. This area also serves as a gateway into the San Pedro Parks Wilderness, with numerous spurs branching off to more rugged trails for those looking for more technical challenges. Be aware that toward the northern end, several side spurs lead onto private land, so exercise caution when selecting a dispersed campsite.
