THIS is a short cut to shorten the distance of "Horse With No Name" Trail. Not much of a trail but more of a dry creek. I would recommend not taking this shortcut as it is mainly a Hike-a-bike. Probably just as fast to continue on Horse with No Name.
Disclaimer
Named due to this trail feels more like bush wacking than riding and Monster because I encountered a Gila Monster in the middle of this dry creek bed.
