PNT 22 Lomo Hurtado Trail

PNT 22 Lomo Hurtado is a 3.12-mile, one-way point-to-point hike from the PNT 01/PNT 25 junction near Llano de Los Rastrojos to the PNT 06 junction near Montaña de Los Conejos. Plan about two to two and a half hours for roughly 1,400 feet of climbing. It carries you through open highland terrain toward Montaña Blanca, but it isn't a loop; decide how you'll continue or return before you start.

Most of the tread crosses compacted pumice, with a steeper upper stretch. The route rises from about 6,800 feet to roughly 8,100 feet, so the sustained uphill effort and altitude matter more than its short mileage suggests. One short middle section is mapped as hard to see; keep close to the route markings and your track. The route isn't accessible for people with reduced mobility.

The trail moves away from the Cabezón de Tigaiga and La Fortaleza escarpments as it climbs. Open pumice slopes take over, with Teide white broom (retama) and hierba pajonera among the named plants along the route.

Neither end has direct vehicle access. Reach the lower start on foot via PNT 01, PNT 25, or PR TF 41; reach the upper end from PNT 06 or PR TF 41. This works best as a connector to another walk or with a return plan. The route can be walked in either direction.
