Short connector to Ridgeline trail. Would suggest riding N > S, connecting to Ridgeline and back on Wild Burro. Steep ascent with one technical switchback.

 Amazing trail conditions, tacky and smooth. One Ocotillo is falling down over the trail.

 Grasses growing over the trail making it pretty narrow tread. Still lovely trail though!

      Going CW, lung buster climbs, but what a beautiful trail.

      Agree with others N>S is the best route linking to Ridgeline. Well built trails with good signage.

      Amazing climb, only a couple palces where you might need to get off. Fairly steep, but doable since it isn't too rocky. The only challenge is the tight turns and small gaps caused by some rocks. Definitely the way to start the loop.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
