The East Fork Trail follows the East Fork Jemez River up to viewpoints and through the classic Caldera National Preserve forests and grassland. The trail is 4.5 miles and starts and ends at different points of the NM4 highway, so it can be done with two cars end-to-end or as an out-and-back. The trail can get quite snowy in the winter and is not recommended to hike unless you have the proper winter gear.
