Burros Spur Trail #74B

Continental Divide National Scenic Trail #74 through the Burro Mountains, which includes more single-track trail and less hiking along open roadways. While the main CDT is accessed at Saddle Rock Road, Trail 74B begins at the edge of the forest boundary near Blacksmith Canyon and Mangas Creek. It crosses over hills and valleys on a southerly track, making its way into East Fork Schoolhouse Canyon and following it upstream, then climbing the ridge between the East and West forks of Schoolhouse and continuing south above the head of Barney Kerr Canyon to intersect the motorized Gnarly Trail #901. Trail 74B runs concurrent with Trail #901 for a short distance, then continues south above the head of Miller Canyon to its end at the Continental Divide Trail #74.
