A fun loop to grab the bottom half of Milagrosa, which is fun, fast, and rocky. The descent from Agua Caliente to Miliagrosa is also fantastic and worth the extra bit of climbing. AC Canyon (Gnats) is a challenging climb that will involve some HAB, but it is more rideable and a bit shorter than taking Agua Caliente all the way up.
Great in Winter, can get very hot in Summer.
