This trail has a bit of variety, with some loose sections, but mostly climbs around the mesa. Not always easy to follow after a heavy rain. The trails are very close in spots here and you can see other trails like The Connector running up right next to it.

Trails in this area need to be marked correctly, and this trail is not worth it

Fun, not worth it tho. It’s hard to get to, hard to navigate, and all the markers in that area are wrong. It’s marked as goat.

      This trail is worth doing maybe a couple times but it’s nothing special. There is one scenic spot but that’s it. Just up and down. Upper deck (3.8mile one) is better

      Way too easy for a blue. Definitely a green

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
