Botella Road

Snaking its way across Terneros Creek; with numerous scenic hills and peaks to the east, Botella Road runs north-south through the Black Hills region of the park; making numerous washout crossings, and connects the Cienega region of the park with the central portions of the park. While more tame routes exist connecting the northwest and central portions of the park, those who dare take this rugged route to the Cienega region are sure to get a taste of what lies ahead and can explore the ruins of the old Vasques House along the way. As the northern 10 miles of this 12.5 mile route are not maintained by the park, come prepared for anything as the only thing guaranteed along the route is an adventure!
