Swoopy and fun singletrack. Great way to start or finish a ride out of Brown's Ranch trailhead. Very few rocks. A few sandy spots as you cross small arroyos, but easily rideable.

Access Info

Trail starts at the Brown's Ranch trailhead, just south of the main parking lot off the entry road. Terminates at the Cone Mtn Trail.
