Complete hike a bike. If you want to ride the Meridian Trail, it’s best to do an out

Hike a bike if going up it. Pretty gnarly & loose going down, may have to walk a couple spots going down if you're not an experienced rider.

This is a fairly recent horse trail made by a local resident that is in dire need of some strategic reroutes with 3 or 4 long switch backs to reduce the steep (double black) grade and reduce erosion and loose rock build up...would be a nice bonus to the blue parts of the upper trail and a great transition to the black of the newly made Missing Link trail???? PM me if you need trail workers for official Tonto FS reroutes here.
