      despite having the newest and shiniest sign at the trail head, this trail is for the most part non-existent as someone else has pointed out. I ended up just riding across the desert until I met the service road for power lines and meeting up with Aiden Quarries.

      Trail is still very hard to follow, needs a proper cut in or better cairns

      Trail is not easy to see at times and I ended up riding through the desert for a pretty good chunk of it.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
