a gate. It climbs steeply to the top of a bench above the
Pecos River and then maintains a moderate grade, travelling
through open grassy meadows, aspen groves and mixed conifer.
The trail then turns sharply to the east, coinciding with
Gascon Trail 239 for a half mile.

the Santa Barbara Divide. The Gascon Trail continues east
