La Madre Spring Trail follows the unpaved section of Rocky Gap Road in the La Madre Wilderness Area as it runs up a canyon with red and white sandstone cliffs on the side and gray limestone on the other.

The trail starts at the Willow Spring Trailhead with a picnic, vault toilets, and a short way up will&nbsp;pass by a prehistoric kitchen.&nbsp;Parts of the hike are strenuous, as the trail climbs some 700 ft in only 1.8 miles and for a roundtrip distance of 3.64 miles.

The trial hike ends at the concrete dam built in the 1960s &nbsp;to store water for cattle and&nbsp;domestic use.
