The first climb up this lollipop loop, while not steep, is a bit on the rocky side but is rideable. The loop itself is usually ridden in the counterclockwise direction​. It is mostly singletrack but does have a few short sections of doubletrack road. There is no trail signage and, depending on use, portions of the trail can sometimes be overgrown or covered with tumbleweeds. The majority of the trail is on BLM land; there is often a herd of wild horses in the area, use caution when approaching them and if needed modify your route.

This trail is unsanctioned.
