• Park in Brins Mesa Parking Lot and hike up to Brins Mesa to Soldier Pass Trail -- 2.25 miles.

• Hike down Soldier Pass Trail -- 1.2 miles.

• Hike first part of Jordan Trail - 0.3 miles.

• Hike Cibola Pass Trail - 0.7 miles.

Some maps prior to 2009 have the Brins Mesa trailhead and parking lot next to Jordan trail's trailhead. A new and expanded parking area has been constructed north of the original parking lot and trailhead. The parking lot is now next to Cibola Pass Trailhead. Thus, on the return, take Cibola Trail as it branches north off of Jordan Trail.  Cibola Trail is steeper but it will save about a half a mile and avoids hiking next to power lines.
