Very easy trail, Found it to be rather boring and kind of junky. Lots of large loose rocks

 Yeah, this trail has been very poorly maintained. I feel like its 80-90% is very loose rock gardens and sand. Very difficult to take any turns...

 Section of old Long Loop (between the new Mountain Pass section) alternates between rocks and sand. Just unpleasant. Mountain Pass section is...

 Great loop, one old downed saguaro, but you can ride over on stacked rocks.

 This trail is so eroded that it's not enjoyable at all. Most of the dirt is gone from the singletrack and it's just loose gravel and large rocks.

      Just bad. Not fun, go anywhere else please. If you enjoy pain and climbs without anything as a reward, get a therapist before you subject yourself to this trail.

      Nice Green/Blue loop for those looking to add miles. Nothing overly difficult. I add this to my XC repertoire and do two full loops then ride back out to Estrella on desert rose for a full 60 mile day.

      This is a double track trail with some singletrack. Probably less than 50% singletrack. Lacks character, and requires a $7 day pass fee. An XC rider looking for a small amount of chunk would love this trail. Trail riders will find it meh. Definitely some good exercise to be had.

      Given the $7 day pass fee, I have numerous places in Phoenix I will go ride instead. The fun/cost ratio wasn’t there.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
