Steep double track with sand and gravel.

West of Delmoe Rd the trail is steep and sandy, best used as a descent after riding BLM 20.

East of Delmoe Rd the trail surface is reasonably good. The trail climbs over a steep hill in the middle that may at times challenge some ascending mountainbikers in either direction.
