Bring plenty of water and sunscreen is highly recommended, regardless of the time of year.

The trail starts at the parking area at the top of Skyline Drive in Davis Mountains State Park. The State Park Connecting Trail is located on the opposite side of the parking lot. Continue along the the ridge line for outstanding views of the desert. There are a steep series of switchbacks down the side of the mountain, which gives way to a riparian canyon area. Continue on along the dry creek bed (may have seasonal water) to the parking lot off the main park road.

Typical West Texas and Chihuahuan Desert flora and fauna can be found here. Yucca and cacti can be found on the ridge line, and oak trees can be found in the riparian canyon and along the dry creek bed.
