This dirtbike trail is one of the more technical and interesting trails in the pipestone area. Unfortunately there many occasions where different trail splits into multiple routes, and you have to pick a path, most of which will converge again with each other.

Like most of the pipestone area, this trail is a mixture of sand and rocks, but you will also encounter some challenging rocky slabs towards on the southern half of the trail.

The trail has steep sections of climbing in both directions, however most of the trails technical features are best tackled travelling downhill heading south.
