This is a volunteer recreational activity. Participants are responsible for their own safety, vehicle operation, and compliance with land-use rules.
Peter Vollers showed us a really cool route during the 2026 Chile Challenge that took us high up on the western side of the Caballo Mountains and I wanted to invite the club to do this trail again. Given this is over 2.5 hours to the trailhead, we will be bringing the RV and staying in the T or C/Elephant Butte area Friday-Sunday. This run is highly contengent on the weather. Since it is the off season, I am going to wait till it gets closer to book my accomodations.
The Trail: This is a 5, mostly because of a single ledge. However, there will be pinstriping, there are off-camber spots, and there are steep ravine crossings that will drag tail on any rig with rear overhang. 33" tires are managable on Wranglers, Broncos, or lifted 4-Runners, trucks will drag tail. 35"+ tires are perfect. Plan for about 7 hours on the trail. Be at the meet point listed above (Visible to Members Only) with a full tank of gas, food, water, and layers of clothing ready for a 8AM departure on Saturday, Nov 21. There will be about 30 minutes of highway driving before we get to the dirt.
