The trail follows portions of old logging roads through oak, Manzanita, and pine. Impressive views are available on a clear day Mount Baldy is visible to the east and the Colorado plateau to the north. The terrain is relatively hilly. Seven major uphill sections are challenging on a mountain bike. The Man Enough? trail completes Loop 2.
