DESCRIPTION

 For this trail the scenic views are probably not worth the effort required to reach them unless you are on horseback. 

 ACCESS:

 To reach T225, take US285 northwest from Carlsbad (about 12 miles) to 0.6 mile beyond milepost 45 at its junction with NM137, Queen Highway. Turn left and follow the paved road 32 miles to milepost 20.  Continue along NM137 6.5 miles to the turnoff (left) for FR540 (which may also be signed as Klondike Gap Road).  FR540 is a very good gravel road.  Follow it 4.3 miles to its intersection with FR69.  Turn left and follow FR69 2.3 miles to its junction with FR69A.  Follow FR69A 2.3 miles to its junction with FR20, the nearest point of access for most high clearance 4WD vehicles.   The trailhead is 4.5 miles from the junction of FR69A and FR201.  FR201 is considered impassable form most high clearance 4WD vehicles T225 begins at FR201 and descends to the Forest boundary.  Access to the lower trail head is complex.
