Equestrian’s this multi use trail system that’s especially significant for Equestrian use is perfect for your riding needs! When driving into this riding area the Equestrian trailhead in the second one in with plenty of room for rigs with horse trailers to park. This trail system provides many opportunities for different lengths of rides. What I call the outer loop is right at 13.25 miles and you can easily cut that in half with cross trail use and cutting the length in half if needed. The terrain is rocky, so shoes or boots are required. The trails are challenging, but not impossible for most equestrian skill levels. They are marked well and I suggest you print out a map or get a navigation trail map app to ensure you navigate the trail system in a way that helps you meet your distance an

So far so good. Camping at 1800hrs. and there is not a sound. Beautiful and serene. Had my dinner and watched the sunset. Camp spot #14 is a nice large area. Cannot see the other camp spots. High clearance 4WD is reccomended. The roads have a great amount of washouts. I did not have to use 4WD, just needed the clearance. Was looking at other reviews and saw a picture of a bear from 3 months ago. Texas boy ears are on alert, lol. Would recommend for camping. The trails are well marked.

Seems to have some good mountain biking trails and some great arid scenery. A good place to camp for the night (the road is dirt and a bit rutted so beware), but plenty of spaces to camp, very quiet and has good cell reception. No amenities otherwise not even trash cans. Also seem to be a few skunks in the area so keep that in mind.

Went to my hometown for a winter time hike. The Island in the sky trail was awesome! It took forever because we couldn't stop looking for fossils. My wife and I used to go to wild keg parties with bonfires here back in the 90s. There were no trails back then just the dirt roads that are still there now.

Spent 2 days running through glorious mountain trails and valleys. Stayed in campsite 10. Gave us and dogs plenty of space to run. Hunting fossils and minerals in the 4 mile with a nice rolling current. Plan many future trips.
