This trail has a steady but fairly easy ascent to Thunderbird trail. There are good views of the Franklin Mountains, and there are many different species of cacti along the trail. It is especially beautiful in the spring when the cacti are in bloom.

This is another trail I have used a lot to connect to the Thunderbird trail. Lots of cacti and good views of the Franklin Mountains. 0.4mi — 0h 15m
