Agua Sarca Trailhead & Agua Sarca Trail 231
The Agua Sarca Trailhead is located about 1.7 miles down Forest Road 231 (aka Tunnel Spring Road). There is a small parking area on the left. Agua Sarca Trail 231 begins across from the parking area, and it is an unmaintained trail, which becomes more and more difficult as you get further into Agua Sarca Canyon.
The trail may be difficult to follow and should only be taken if you are familiar with navigating rough territory using a map and compass (or GPS) to avoid getting lost.
