Cabezon Road is the explorer's dirt road for the Tierra Amarilla Anticline and Ojito Wilderness. The scenery and geology are said to be just as nice as some of the surrounding trails. Experienceing this road by trail running is a great option. Cars do take this road, but it is still not as heavily trafficked as surrounding highways.

Ojito Wilderness Trail, or Hoodoo Trail, takes runners on a relatively flat trail; the trail ends just past Bernalillito Mesa and passes great view points and amazing hoodoo rock formations. A hoodoo is created by erosion, with a hard rock on top and softer rock beneath. The soft rock erodes faster, leaving a long, thin column with a larger rock on top, resembling a person with a large hat.

Guadalupe Ruin is a single-story masonry pueblo perched on top of an isolated sandstone mesa. This mesa is about 200 feet above the valley floor and gives visitors great views of canyons, mesas, and volcanic necks in the Rio Puerco Valley, along with this fantastic archeological look into the past. The ruin had 39 rectangular rooms and 7 kivas (kivas are shared spaces used for political meetings or for rites).
