      Coyote! This trail can really be awesome or really rough, depending on how much moisture it's gotten and how much the motor bikes have torn it up each season. It is mostly comprised of loose dirt/rocks, with some smoother/flowier...

      Chamisoso is an interesting trail that pops off of Powerline, and is definitely a better way to climb, as Powerline gets crazy steep and rocky further on, and can be a decent (if scary) descent, but is not a fun climb. Chami is,...

      The south portion of Bear Scat is almost a completely different trail from the northern portion. Mellow, fun, and flowy as a downhill (with a bit of a steep start), and a reasonably low-grade climb (with a pretty steep end). This...
