This is ridgeline type single track trail that links Long Way Around Trail down to Lower Aliso Trails. Much of the trail is downhill though there are a few climbs.
Trail is not used much and conditions may very depending on season. Trail is a little tight in spots with light exposure. Only risk would be a fall to lower grassy area. No cliffs or rocky areas.

In good shape for the first miles or so and then not so good. The trail is in good shape but you can't see it because of the low overgrowth.

      Very fun trail. It was in great shape with the exception of the bumps which are either horse or Cow damage very bumpy spots Overall, a very fun ridgeline ride

      Rode 3M and Bane Ridge today. Was hotter than predicted but still doable. The hills look absolutely beautiful thanks to recent(ish) rain. While 3M is still fun, it’s not as fast as in past years due to loads of braking bumps and what appears to be horse damage.

      Today was really bumpy, big hikes in the trail made it too sketchy to go fast. Haha I guess if you brought your big enduro bike, but my trail bike was feeling the bumps. Love it otherwise

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
