Description
Bonito Creek Trail (T36) begins at the end of FR 107, has a change in elevation of 1100 feet and ends at trail 25. This trail follows Bonito Creek through heavy stands of Aspen and small meadows with good camping sites just off the trail. The view from the crest allows hikers and/or equestrians to see Elk Point, White Horse Hill and a panoramic view of Tularosa Basin. Bonito seep is located north of the trail just prior to reaching the crest. This offers a prime example of the origin of the White Mountain Wilderness streams that make up the Bonito watershed.
