This trail is a hidden gem. The climb up the east side is very steep, but not loose or difficult to climb. It simply climbs up and up and doesn't stop. A few whoops if you go down this side, but I prefer going down the west side.

      Great trail. Well built with great flow. I started at Sanderson Park, gained a bit of elevation on the green trails then connected to China Wall from the green Pinyon Trail. This is a good climb on well packed dirt with very few rocks to fight. The switchbacks are all well made. At the top of the climb, I branched off to ride East Ridge to its connection with Hidden Valley. I rode Hidden Valley clockwise and reconnected to East Ridge. All of this trail was awesome. Then back on East Ridge to China Wall for the descent on China Wall, which was fantastic. All of the Meeker trails that I rode we excellent and I recommend stopping and riding if you are passing by.

      Awesome roll down the west side. Long enough to get your attention and make it worth the effort getting up the east side. Fun trail.
