Trail Information

Highlights

This popular hangout area is a great place to camp and have fun. Nestled in the hills of Calico, the lower part of Odessa and Doran Scenic Loop is perfect for taking the family out camping, doing some exploring, and shooting. The area is friendly to RV's and 5th-Wheels, making it a great place to camp off the grid while being close to town. In the area are lots of natural wonders including natural arches, red rock canyons, and slot canyons. The area also hosts lots of off-road trails that have everything from an overland adventure to the most extreme 4x4 rock crawling in America.

Have you ever come around the corner and seen a helicopter on the road?

We used this trail to get to go run the Odessa Doran loop and to explore the Mud Hills. It's pretty bumpy but nothing challenging. Oh, and the arches are certainly worth checking out.

Did a quick drive through the other day as I headed to the the harder trail. One of the camping areas was packed with like 20 RV's

This is a short easy trail but it's a good way to access the Mud Hills and other more exciting trails
