On those delightful Spring, Summer and Fall days a ride to view the spruce and fir forests and alpine meadows is a must. The Escudilla Trail #308 offers such inspirational sights and perfect moments of solitude. This 3.3 mile trail (rated moderate in difficulty) may be somewhat taxing due to the higher elevations (9,600-10,900 ft.). The trail follows an old road which leads to the Escudilla fire tower. To access this trail take US191 north 6 miles from Alpine and make a right on Forest Road 56. Go three miles and just before the road turns toward the south is the beginning of the trail.

To see beyond your vision, experience the Raspberry Trail #35. This 9.4 mile trail traverses a narrow canyon which makes it quite challenging to ride or walk. However, it is well worth the effort as the journey allows for breathtaking ridge top views of the every changing mood of the White Mountains. The trailhead is accessible year-round and is located off US191, 10 miles south of Hannagan Meadow.

Come and Experience the White Mountains.
