The 1.82 mile Jordan trail starts at the west end near the very popular Sink Hole and the east end at the Brins Mesa parking lot. The trail on the west end is routed on wide slickrock sections that narrow down onto some more slickrock sections that have and up and down component that will challenge a higher skilled intermediate rider. As you ride to further east the trail has more up and down sections that make the trail fun to ride in the downhill direction and more difficult on the uphill sections. While riding the trail you will come to numerous intersections of different trails that are fun to ride. One intersection that you might want to check out is the Ant Hill trail.

      Did Jordan as access to javelina. Nice connector with a few fun downs.

      Rode today and there were visible signs at each intersection from soldiers pass to Jordan to javelina and back up crusty.

      Great trail but needs more signage. I got a bit lost before the turnoff to Javalena and accidentally ended up on Power Line Plunge.
