Nice add on to the Little Pan Loop with a few technical features. The loop is 95% intermediate with a couple tricky spots. Loop was designed to be ridden in a CCW direction.

 Most of the trail is now overgrown and very difficult to navigate. Constant checking of the map and reorienting is needed to complete it,...

      Rode by here last week. As of this posting, the signage is gone and the entrance to the trail (northern entrance at least) is completely overgrown. They stopped taking care of it completely.

      South Little Pan Loop was in very good shape today. No more loose rock than usual, but a bit overgrown with catclaw and elkhorn cacti. Forgot to bring clippers. Agree with Rackman about Tech Loop. I gave up after 200 yards. Seems to be a foot route now, not blue intermediate singletrack as indicated by Trail Forks.

      Garbage....very disappointed in all of the trails around there... heard a lot about the Little Pan Loop and BCT and they all were not good....90% loose rock and a lot of overgrowth....

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
