This nice hardpack singletrack is tucked nicely in the trees to provide protection from the sun and West Texas winds. It has great flow and the ability to get some speed. There are some punchy climbs with some rocky sections which gives it a blue rating but most of the trail is green and suitable for beginners who are willing to possibly hike a bike in a few spots. Please be aware this trail is frequented by hikers and families to always yield and don't be that person
