Beginner 30%, intermediate 67 % and advanced 3%, .59 mile MTB trail which is a bi-directional singletrack, and is pretty easy to ride with a few short technical sections. The trail tread is mostly on slickrock and a small portion of it is on packed dirt. The trail is a circle and there is no preferred direction, but I usually ride it counter clockwise. The trail also serves as a great connector for several other fun loops in the Soldier Wash area.
