DESCRIPTION:
T82 is a road that has been designated as a trail. It has a
very low gradient and runs, through the juniper woodland, near the boundary of
the Lincoln National Forest.
ACCESS:
In an area with many bad roads, access to both trailheads of
T82 is surprisingly easy. From the
intersection of US54 and US380 in Carrizozo, drive 3.3 miles north on US54 to paved
County Road 349. Follow Co349 8.5 miles
to the old mining town of White Oaks.
The road continues as FR72, a well-maintained gravel road. Follow FR72, 8.7 miles to the signed south
trailhead for T82 on the right. To reach
the north trailhead for T82, continue on FR72 2.8 miles, through the old
village of Jicarilla, to the signed junction with FR72A on the right. Follow
FR72A, also a good gravel road, 1.9 miles to its end at private property. FR9033 goes off to the right and a few yards
further the carsonite sign for T82 will be found. |
