Miles of single track A twisty ride through the desert which makes you feel like you are on another planet. Great views of the valley, great scenery with all the 20 foot tall boulders you will be riding in between wondering how different the valley must have been millions of years ago, and the trail keeps your mind engaged. It is a bit of a workout for the common man. Definitely something to experience.
