• "Definitely not a beginners trail. You need strong legs and good balance. If you have them, you'll love this trail! Going all the way down to where Red River joins the Rio Grande was so beautiful! A walking stick would come in handy, especially going back up."
• "4x4 isn’t required but definitely recommend higher clearance to make it through the ruts. The drive is well worth the scenery and seclusion (I was there on a Sunday night; may be different on Friday/Saturday)."
