The Manzano Crest Trail is an epic trail that runs north-south along almost the entirety of the Manzano Mountains. This particular short section traverses the ridge connecting Manzano Peak and Gallo Peak, between Ox Canyon Trail and Red Canyon trail. The trail can be a little hard to follow here, but since you are ridge-running, it's hard to get truly lost. As you hike, you get great views over the Manzano Mountains and beyond.
