      Fun trail that deserves to be ridden more. Terrain is similar to parts at McCoy Flats that run along and on top of the mesas. A bit of tech on the slick rock portions, but nothing too crazy. Could use a few more cairns and a sign at the start would be nice, but probably not enough traffic here to justify

      Fun trail with a mix of tech and flow, plus some interesting scenery.

      Hasn’t been ridden a lot definitely could use some traffic. It’s getting hard to navigate. one of the funner rides in the basin
