This is a fun short loop that can be added to one of your Starr Pass rides. It has a very tough techy climb followed by a rocky descent. Lots of very rocky fun singletrack on this loop. Not f beginner friendly trail. Its generally ran clockwise and it ends on the paved road by the Starr Pass Resort. The loop takes you by the Bowen Stone House which a a great place to stop on a night ride to take in the sights.
