About this campground
The Simms Mesa Loop Connector Trail #115.1A1 begins and ends at the Dave Wood Interpretive Trail #115.1A and interpretive sites 5-9 are located along this trail. The short connector trail travels east, climbs a gentle grade as it turns south, and hooks around to the north, gradually descending back to the Dave Wood Interpretive Trail. About a 1 miles loop can be accomplished by following the Dave Wood Interpretive Trail and the Simms Mesa Loop Connector from the Trailhead and back.
