Land OwnerCity of San Diego
This trail starts off with a very fast top section that has tons of small rises that work great as lips. Then it becomes slower and tighter for a while before opening up near the waterfall. Beware uphill traffic.

Beware Uphill and Hiker Traffic
Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Green Rating: Beginner features and moderate terrain.
As of 06/09/2020 there are three potential dilemmas on the lower section. 1)Steep table top may require a push. Ride around to the right. 2)Washout after table top creates off-camber situation. 3)Steep little rock crawl towards the end may require a push. At the bottom, turning west leads to aMTB2 eventually and east is all aMTB1.
