Land Owner
Don't let the distance fool you. This is a very tough ride. There are lots of drops, switchbacks, and plenty of exposure tot keep you on your toes. Plus about half-way into the ride there is a fairly long hike a bike section. That all being said this trail is a blast and has everything an All-Mountain rider could ask for. Most link a few of the other trails above or below for an awesome day of shuttling.

this trail, and really everything coming down lemmon, sucks awfully. calling this one of the best trails in az is disingenuous and misleading. it's not even the best trail on lemmon and don't even get me started on world class options in sedona or flag. this trail rides extremely awkwardly and has difficult to find/if present lines. i would recommend to no one.

The trail is currently pretty run down, especially at the beginning. There's a lot of loose rocks and fallen branches due to the monsoon rain so there's not that much grip at the moment. In addition there's a lot of bush overgrowth on some of the lines so be careful not to poke your fingers.

I think this is a red even by Tucson/Lemmon standards.
It has its moments and the views are rad, but probably wouldn't rush to do it again without a local to show me the lines. Steep, loose, exposed, drops, switchbacks, HABs. If you're not bringing your A game and ready to commit to some no fall moves, check your ego at the door and plan on walking a fair bit.
