Tips

Starting on Russian Canyon Road, just past the Lucas Canyon Trailhead, the Chippeway Trail snakes its way up steep pitches before plateauing on the ridgeline. The trail can be quite exposed at times, so during the summer months take caution in the hot New Mexico sun.

One of the most interesting parts of this trail is the amount of fossils you can find in the exposed limestone boulders. It is not uncommon to come across trilobite fossils.
