This afternoon a ranger from Guadalupe Mountains National Park called me and confirmed that there is no jeep trail or any other way to get a motorcycle from Dog Canyon to the Del City side of the park.

Cool. Post up the tracks when you do. mcrider has given us one example that looks promising and there may be others. Right now all we have is a road than can only be found by those who have ridden it. I just don't want someone to get into trouble (and tear up a national park) over vague directions.

I know of a gravel road that whiskysmith couldn`t find and he rode right past it 
I had to show him where it was 
i`ve taken people on it several times already yet

I found some BLM info about Brokeoff Mountain WSA and a map showing several county roads that may be 4wd. http://www.blm.gov/pgdata/etc/media.../wsa_maps.Par.15994.File.dat/BrokeoffMtns.pdf

Cleatusj's last post has a good description of the route....
mcrider also posted the track from our trip in 2010.
That is most likely the one Hounddog is looking for.
It had a few short, ugly sections when we rode it, but may be much worse now since the heavy rains they had recently.
You can also stay on G014 for about 20 miles and intersect NM 506, which is the main road to Dell City.
As I stated in post #14, you can't get to Dell City from Hwy 137 without going thru El Paso Gap...

The loop in the center shown on the track I posted (#39) is not for the faint of hart. 
It is filled with sharp embeded rocks without dirt & a lot of elevation change. Not a novice trail, but it was FUN!
