One of my favorite trails outside of the park. Its usually quiet, has some good gain, and I love the view of the La Sals from the Valley. There are two rebuilt kivas at the end of the trail that you can get a good view of via drone. Otherwise, it takes a scramble and climbing capabilities. You'll also find a great petroglyph panel at the end of the hike.
