The Wilderness Study Area of the Sierra Vista Trail is unexpectedly verdant. Hundreds of desert plants surround the path, including the Spanish daggers seen here. Devastated by an unusually cold winter a few years ago, they're now making a comeback and will soon grow up to twenty feet in height.
While in a designated wilderness area, Pena Blanca is still accessed by vehicles on a jeep road.
