      Nice easy climb to AZ trail to Sunset Parking.

      This trail should be rated a green. It is generally flat and does not have any features like other flow trails in the area. This trail is meant for dirt bikes that generate speed via motor. On a non motorized bike this trail runs slow. This flat and featureless trail would be great for a beginner learning how to ride single track, but if you are an intermediate-advanced rider you will hate this trail.

      Mostly the intermediate trail good gradual little climb upwards coming back is a lot of fun though.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
