It was a beautiful sunny day today for the hike. To get here, park your car at the Willow Springs picnic area near the old Rocky Gap road. We saw an off-road vehicle drive another half-mile or so up to the trailhead.
As we walked up the rocky terrain, we saw a huge Agave Roasting Pit located on the south side of the road.
From the trailhead you'll be hiking up. You are totally surrounded by mountains. The limestone La Madre range is right behind you; North Peak and Bridge Mountain are to the West and directly in front is the White Rock.
If you continue up the trail toward the La Madre Spring, you'll see two old concrete pads. These are the remnants of the Las Vegas Archery Club that closed in 1975 when the BLM acquired this land for an expansion of Red Rock Canyon NCA. From here it's a short walk up the road to the springs. A little dam was built here in 1968 creating a nice pond.
The pond marks the end of the trail. We walked and scrambled up to explore some more.
Overall, this trail is a good aerobic workout with a lot of interesting cultural resources to see.
