Intermediate 90% and advanced 10%, 1/3 mile MTB trail which is a bi-directional singletrack that is a slightly twisty trail with a couple of slightly technical spots that will be a little challenging to a lesser skilled rider. The trail tread is mostly packed dirt mixed with a few rocky wash sections. There is no preferred direction but it is an easier ride in the south to north direction. The trail is an excellent connector trail for several fun loops.
