A short half loop off of Hidden Canyon (AKA Helipad Access/DC Ray Connect) the Degobah loop takes a stroll west towards the south side of Helipad hill. Degobah gets its name from the unusually green and wet valley that it traverses. There is a natural spring located in this valley which along with natural flow of rain/residential run off makes for a unique spot in South Mountain where there is a thick patch of green and even a palm. Much like this entire zone there is some technical sections of trail from loose rock and overall just a great zone to pedal around with several options for both ups and downs. Can be muddy after rain.

This trail is unsanctioned.

 Not much to see. Not much fun. Slippery in places where the trail is mountain side and thin. Skip it.
