A temporary connector trail not on the South Mountain Trails 2017 master plan that may be eliminated in coming years as the Pima Canyon trail system is cleaned up (many of the trails are old off-road vehicle scars).

      The whole mountain is dry and been seeing a ton of traffic. Some of the brake bumps have been smoothed out.

      Probably one of the funnest, flowy trails on SoMo. Fast, lots of rocks to boost off of, a couple decent hips.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
