Chupadera Mountains Loop, Socorro County

Sun Dec 29, 2024    

This trip will be an easy ride for stock 4x4 vehicles.  We will meet at the Box Recreation Area off of US Highway 60 southwest of Socorro at 9:30 am. The last gas stations are in Socorro. Please plan to air-down when you arrive and depart at 10:00 am.  There is a pit toilet at the parking area.  The trip will traverse graded gravel roads and a sandy canyon with a couple of side roads that might require 4x4 mostly on BLM managed lands but crossing a private ranch or two.  We will visit a couple of old manganese mines and drive through a spectacular box canyon.  Our route will take us close to the I-25 San Antonio exit before we turn and head toward Highway 60. This point could be a departure if anyone needs to leave early.  This ride will be weather dependent as the roads can get very muddy when wet.
