Mesa Trail #13 is an interesting mix of XC and downhill. It is best ridden as a lollipop including the Mesa XC loop. The lower segment is a relatively steep and rugged downhill trail. It is partially ridable uphill, a bit of a hike-a-bike of a climb, but it's worth it. The mesa itself is flatter and ridable both directions. You can also add the mesa loop for extra XC distance. There's a nice overlook at the east end that makes for a good turn around spot when ridden out-and-back.
For a hike, Mesa Trail 13 is often combined with 13A as a loop.
