Start of Tabeguache (0.0 mi)
name=Start of Tabeguache (0.0 mi)
notes=Not suitable for Overlanding rigs with trailers or low ground clearance (rated moderate to difficult).
Tabeguache Trail is an amazing trail that has many challenging rock gardens, with a fairly significant one mid route and a tricky downhill rocky decent to Hwy141 at the end. Rigs with a 2"-4" lift and 35"-37" tires should have a good challenging time. A stock 4x4 will make often use of skid plates and possibly the winch. The whole trail takes about 3-4 hours. Camping is limited, mostly to the east end.
