The trail is open during daylight hours all year long. It can be ridden when wet. Be aware of challenging boulder sections and a couple of bumpy climbs and mild downhill sections. This one is very fun for a quick ride with great views of the lake.

Access Info

Blue Loop is accessible from the Hoof Gullies Trailhead or from the Lake Lawtonka dam. To reach the Hoof Gullies Trailhead, travel west on HY-49 and take a right on the first gravel road that you come to after you pass over the cattle guard heading into the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.

      We did this trail recently and the conditions were perfect. The trail has great views and if you do all of the zigs and zags, then it is really more like 4.5 miles. The terrain is pretty consistently rocky with plenty of set in and loose rocks. It's a good challenging trail.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
