Cordura
The Cordura trail is an easy, short, ¼ mile dirt trail that is reached from the White Reef trailhead via a ¼ mile segment of the White Reef trail or from the Adams trail. The north end of the trail takes you to remnants of the 1954 “They Came To Cordura” movie set site, and the south segment takes you to some historic, 1860’s homestead ruins. The movie starred Gary Cooper, Rita Hayworth, Van Heflin, Tab Hunter, and Richard Conte.
