Description:

This is a loop trail. If starting on Trail 175, follow the ridgeline approximately a quarter mile. The trail curves to the left, dropping from the ridge to an old road. Turn left onto the old road and follow it past some junctions with other old roads until the road curves left and trail continues straight. The trail crosses another old road almost immediately and then switch back down into Apache Canyon. At the canyon bottom, turn left and follow the narrow trail up the canyon to the marked junction with Trail 176. Trail 176 first climbs steeply up to the ridgeline and then continues at a very moderate incline back to a road. Turn left on the road and walk two miles back to the junction with Trail 125. This route can be done in reverse.
