      Aug 2023. NOT for mountain bikes. DO NOT RIDE. Horse is good. Deep and narrow overgrown track catches peddles on earthen walls. Heavy sage brush cuts legs and catches pedals throwing you off. Whole trail is lined with manure.

      Make sure to wear leggings, arm coverings and full finger gloves, full of horse do do. Many flies.Not really worth riding.

      This is not a mountain biking trail. Narrow, overgrown and sandy.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
