Land OwnerUSFS
This trail is actually known as the Hammill Canyon Trail. It is primarily ridden east to west, but you can ride it west to east with a fair amount of hiking. Much of the trail is easy dirt cruising, but there are some rocky sections to challenge the less skilled riders. The trail alternates between timbered sections, open meadows, and fields of Mule Ears. There is no sign marking the entrance, but it is easily found off the main dirt road directly across from a spur road. If you follow the spur road up to it's end, you will find another singletrack leading further up toward Eagle Peak.
