Short, tight, fun simple trail. Often very sandy and dotted with gopher holes. Steep chute down into creek "rainforest" makes for a very tough climb. Short driveway segment on south leg behind apartment buildings. Fun, off-camber descent towards south end. Several alternate lines and other short sections to play on. After finishing to the south, look for fun drop opportunity back to the east.

Access Info

From North: If riding, use connector trail north of house that is north of church. Parking available off PV Blvd above church. Might be okay to park in church lot most times.
From South: Parking available west of trail.
