Headland Trail GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

The Headland Trail is a nice little loop that goes past a watering hole that was historically used by Native Americans and white settlers back in the day, all of whom wrote on a section of rock called Inscription Rock. The trail then leads up to the top of El Morro National Monument and past some cool old ruins with a nice view of the New Mexico badlands all around.
