I led a small group from Spur Cross TH to the top of Skull Mesa following BiFrost's route from 2016-12-10.

This route follows 247A to an unnamed trail which connects 247A to Cottonwood Trail #247, then proceeds as normal to the Skull Mesa Trail. After hiking back down Skull Mesa #248, we continued on #247 until we came to Cottonwood Spring, at which point we returned via 247A.

Both 247A and the trail connecting 247A with 247 are in good condition and are easy to follow without having to refer to the GPS track. These trails are also very scenic; I like this route better than the standard route to the Skull Mesa Trail, both for the scenery, plus the fact that there's there's a loop in the middle.
