This trail connects the Pinnacle Mountain Visitor Center with the Owl Pass Trail allowing mountain bike access between the visitor center and the rest of the Monument Trails in the eastern section of the park.

An easy ride, this trail goes through an area popular with hikers and although it is mountain bike only, it does cross some hiking-only trails so watch for walkers, hikers, and trail runners.

Construction of some sort of taking place and it only takes you as far as the visitor center to visitor center so find another place to park it...
