This long, easy stretch marks the southern border of the East La Tierra trail network. It accesses 3 trails that dips into Frijoles Arroyo to the north. On the west side, the trail meets up at a small trailhead off of Camino de las Montoyas. On the east side the trail heads out of La Tierra proper (just east of #36). Despite venturing out of bounds, the trail is established and easy to follow. Eventually, the trail tops out at the Ridgetop Double Track that runs in a north/south direction. Most riders head north to complete a popular loop on the east side. The trail is a gradual climb heading east and a fun, fast and swoopy descent heading west.
