The main highway in the High Star Ranch Trail System. This is a nice easy climb, with rolling hardpack and provides access to the surrounding flow trails. A few of the turns are a bit steep, but nicely bermed, and provide a nice flow down as well as up.

      Dry and hot on an August afternoon. Some good spots of shade along the way to cool down.
