Land Owner
Two-way, multi-use trail. Great climb to quickly get up to Aqueduct and to the upper segment of Orson Smith. Can be a little loose at times because of the sandy soil, but easy enough to ride around the worse parts. Overall a great short, connector from the Orson Smith trail head and much better than the fire road alternative.
Access Info
Orson Smith trail head. Carry your bike up the stairs at the NE side of the playground or ride directly up from the NE corner of the parking lot.
