Still drying out in some of the sections that cross washes or low spots in the rims. Expect to get muddy in those places. Otherwise, trail is tacky.

Dry and mostly rock. Very pretty, but the connector trail to the parking lot is braided. No signage makes it difficult to find the entrance.

      Interesting place to bike. I'd say it's about 60% rock, 40% dirt. Beautiful scenery, but no signage and a very braided trail makes it an unintuitive trail for your first visit. Be very mindful of the highway crossing if you're going to connect this to the middle rim trail. You have to hop a guard rail, and the uphill portion of the road has a blind curve that makes it extremely dangerous to cross.
