Upper portion of the El Grupo Loop. Moderately technical trail in either direction, but easier in clockwise direction. Natural rock ledges make for interesting climbing and descending.

This trail is very chunky I would recommend growing west to east.

Don't add this on as easy mileage at the end of a weekend of riding like me, ended up full of cactus down my right side. It's not green, it's not even easy blue. Definitely going to ride again when I have more energy. Lots of fun tech!

I rode this counter-clockwise, and I would agree. This trail is much more rideable clockwise.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
