Description:
From the intersection with North Azul Trail 264, this trail
heads almost due west across a meadow above the river. After
crossing the Azul, the trail travels through dense forest
and occasional large meadows along the northside of the south
fork of the Rito Azul. The junction with Jack's
Creek trail 257 is located near the base of Trailriders'
Wall. Continue north on the two trails until the South Azul
trail turns to the northwest up the hillside just before a
small stream crossing. This junction is very obscure. The
trail continues northwest to its junction with Trail 251 and
then turns north for three-quarter miles to its end at the
northern junction with North Azul Trail 264. This last section
of trail is very eroded and may be difficult for horses. |
Notes:
 This
trail is in the Pecos Wilderness. Motorized equipment and
mechanized transportation, including mountain bikes, hunter
carts, and chainsaws are prohibited.
The
trail may be difficult to follow through the meadows and trail
junctions might be obscure.
