If you travel beyond the Embudo Population Institute on Indian School Road, up into Embudo Canyon, the road will soon dead end at a paved parking lot. This is the trail head for the Embudo Trail. Start walking, and you will pass a large circular water tank. Beyond it the trail climbs a hill, and the landscape opens up before you. From here you can hike or run for miles if you wish. Soon you will see a less traveled footpath that branches off into a smaller side canyon, but if you choose to explore it, be careful. Strange things happen up in there.
