This historic cow trail was used to drive stragglers up to the mesa top while the main herd was driven up an easier route to the east. There are a few places where abutment walls were created to navigate the extremely steep draw which the trail negociates. This trail is a hike a bike in either direction and offers users spectacular views of the Paradox Valley and Dolores River.

Access Info

Hwy 90 at the Dolores River bridge near the Bedrock Store. North end of Davis Mesa.
