BLM trailhead on the southern Cebolla Wilderness boundary in El Malpais National Conservation Area, accessing sandstone canyon country, piñon-juniper, and wilderness hiking in Armijo Canyon. A backcountry natural gateway south of the already-mapped La Ventana / Narrows / Lava Falls front-country stops along NM 117—suited to visitors seeking quieter El Malpais NCA canyon terrain.
