TTFs on TrailSkinny
If you start on the north end and climb heading southwest this is a moderate climb with a few rocky and technical sections. The downhill flows nicely with some technical sections and drops. Do not crash, there is cactus ever where; I guess just like the rest of Southern Nevada. Beginners should stay away from this trail, it will push their limits, but everyone else should be able to ride it. Great views from the top.
This trail is unsanctioned.
