This is looking back at the hillside where the Desert Loop Road begins.
The Carlsbad Caverns Visitor Center sits on the hillside far across the canyon.
Cacti grow close to the trail, so long pants are a good idea when hiking this trail.
Cacti grow along the trail, and rock cairns help you follow the trail, which is primitive at best.
The trail is singletrack and marked by cairns as it makes its way through the grass and cacti.
This is a view of the surrounding canyons and countryside. There aren't many trees, so make sure you have a hat and sunscreen.
The trail ascends along the canyon to the top of a ridge.
