Grandview can be ridden in both directions but maximum enjoyment it's best ridden from the lookout down to the horse corrals. The trail from the lookout down to the hairpin turn at the road is a fun trail with a number of small technical features. The trail after the turn steepens but also rides along and through a wash which is loose sand most of the year. A very popular section of trail so always be watchful around blind turns.
