This stretch of trail marks the northern border of the East La Tierra Trail Network. It is an access point for 3 trails that head south into the Frijoles Arroyo. The trail is often ridden as a part of a loop connecting Ridgetop Double Track and Conejo. The trail romps through a Juniper forest with increasingly difficult terrain as you head east. Like Conejo to the south, this trail heads out of bounds once you pass marker #34. The out of bounds portion is easily identifiable for most of the way. The trail turns south toward the eastern end and connects to the Arbolitos trail. This area is being developed quickly and the access to Ridgetop Double Track has changed over the years, which can make this section a bit confusing if you don't know the route.
