The "pepper" trails are a small network of beginner trails. Short rocky sections are a little bumpy but still pretty safe for kids/beginners. These trails are pretty short so do a couple loops and then head up to the S-Mountain parking lot and Little Rattler for something a little tougher.

Access Info

Use the CR 177 access road to head up towards the water tower.
