Description:
Due to private ownership of the southern portion, the trail
is usually accessed from Hollinger
Trail 219. The section of Blue Bell Trail to the south
of Hollinger Creek leads to the private land. North of Hollinger
Creek, the trail climbs steeply to Blue Bell Ridge. The trail
levels out at the top of the ridge for a short distance before
meeting Trail 10 which drops
down to Beaver Creek. Blue Bell Ridge trail continues along
the top of the ridge to the west. The trail is lightly used
and can be difficult to follow. Near the end of Blue Bell
Ridge the trail will turn north and intersect with Porvenir
Canyon Trail 247 coming up from Beaver Creek. Going up
Porvenir Canyon Trail takes one to the Skyline Trail 251.
Going down eventually brings one back to El Porvenir Trailhead. |
Notes:
 This
trail is in the Pecos Wilderness. Motorized equipment and
mechanized transportation, including mountain bikes, hunter
carts, and chainsaws are prohibited.
Portions
of the trail are on private land. Landowner permission must
be obtained to pass through these areas. |
