A short, quick, flowy single track with some nice turns, one easy switchback and a small optional drop at the entrance. A great trail for beginners and still fun for intermediates. This area sees a lot of hiking and occasional equestrian activity. Cactus is less populated but it is not uncommon to encounter uphill traffic.
Access Info
There are multiple ways to get here. Most people enter the park via Borrego Canyon double track and then climb up Mustard road to the Four Corners meeting area. The trail entrance on your left, about about 30 yards down the main Whiting Ranch Road trail that connects to Four Corners.
Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB 1 Rating: No obstacles exist. Wide enough. Can be ridden confidently solo.
