Land OwnerBLM
Typically ridden from south to north. Fun singletrack with gradual ups and downs. Trail has some exposure as you are riding along the top of a ridge, however, there are often trails farther from the edge if you feel uncomfortable.
This section of trail ends with two options:
* a hike-a-bike up a gnarly little face followed by some dastardly descents
OR
* a tamer escape hatch trail to a road arriving at the same location
