I did the full loop counter clockwise, some parts were fun single track but most were two track, atv, and dirt road. Some places very hard to see the trail with very little use, but there were small rock carins most of the time. This is more like an adventure on your bike than a Ripin single track. Cool destination at the lookout tower. The trail had all surface conditions, sand, rocky, red dirt, brown dirt, grassy. I would not rate it black diamond because it was very low technically, but it does have a big loose climb and some route finding.... white mountain trail system has several route signs on trees which helps a ton. It is still fun on a bike.....thats good

 Rocky. Sandy. Loose. Washed out in places. Overgrown vegetation at a few parts of the North section of the loop especially near the watch tower....

      Ran this today and kept thinking "this would be terrible on a bike". Mostly on ATV double track with lots of deep moondust and long section of loose, rocky terrain. If you're going to ride it to get to the look out or caballos connector, ride the western side.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
