This trail is a combination of single and double-track and is ridden as an out and back from Danoff Road. It starts out as an ATV trail but at Grasshopper Spring turns to singletrack/cowtrack. Turn around once you hit the fenceline in the meadow but the singletrack often fades before then. The main attraction to this trail is that it follows the narrow canyon along the Hogback formation.
