Description:
Starting from Forest Road 79, the section of trail to the
descent into Apache Canyon is easy and generally wide. This
trail segment is suitable for casual strolls through the woods.
The trail becomes much steeper and more difficult as it descends
into and climbs out of Apache Canyon. Bicyclists will probably
have to walk some sections of trail. There are picnic tables
and fire grates at the top of Glorieta Baldy. |
Notes:
 There
is no water between Apache Canyon and the top of Glorieta
Baldy. Stream flows in Apache Canyon are intermittent. Bring
all your water with you.
Do
not cut switchbacks along these trails. The soils are highly
susceptible to erosion.
Do
not camp or build fires in Apache Canyon
Be
prepared for severe weather and lightning any time of year.
Carry extra layers and weather gear. |
