Easier Access to Slice O Heaven and Willow Springs. Still some hike-a bike but not too bad. Amazing flowers in the spring. Mainly used by Horses but it is a great trail to an amazing group of trails with unbelievable views and rock formations.

      		 I agree with other riders - needs more traffic to clean up loose rock sections.

      		 Dry and larger loose rocks. 90% rideable but some loose rocky sections are pretty rough. Needs more riders:)
