Descend from Rimrock Park and cross Rayado Creek at about 1/2 mile to enter Abreu. Stop for activities and to sample the cantina — especially if you didn't yesterday. Don't tarry too long, however, you have almost three hours of hiking in front of you and you'll want to arrive at Urraca with time for activities.
Gently descend and bear right on the trail at about 1-1/4 miles, then cross the dirt road at 1-3/4 miles. Begin climbing at the 2-mile point for about 1-1/2 miles to the top of Urraca Mesa. Enjoy the view north to the Tooth of Time and east over the plains before descending about a mile to Urraca.
