Dines Trail #112

The 4.8-mile Dines Trail #112 provides access to the North Fork Palomas Trail #105 from Forest Road 157 (Hermosa Road). The first mile of trail follows a closed road as it contours around the head of a minor drainage, then drops into North Fork Palomas Creek, avoiding private land at the entrance to the drainage. From here, Trail #112 follows the drainage bottom upstream, intersecting Moccasin John Trail #112A to the left as Trail #112 continues right, along North Fork Palomas Creek. Trail #112 follows the creek all the way to the Aldo Leopold Wilderness boundary, where it ends at the eastern terminus of North Fork Palomas Trail #105. The portion of trail outside the wilderness boundary is open to bicycles.
