This is an old horse packing trail that went out of use and was then recovered as a mountain bike trail. In places it is narrow on steep sidehill terrain so riders not comfortable in these situations will not be happy. Also, there are numerous punchy climbs and steep loose descents. For riders up for the task, it is a great trail. For those who cannot deal with the challenges, it may not be fun. It can be ridden in both directions but generally south bound (starting from Pacheco Canyon road) is the preferred direction.

 It is easy to make wrong turns. The trail has a few eroded areas and a few steep hike a bikes. Would recommend for a fun adventure in the mountains.
