Beginner 30% and intermediate 70%, a one mile MTB trail which is a bi-directional singletrack that is twisty and pretty buffed. The trail crosses several dry washes and has an up and down character. The trail tread is mostly packed dirt and short slickrock sections. There is no preferred direction and the trail is a great connector for several fun loops.

      Great connector from herkenham to ridge. Fun downhills, techy climbs. Good to go for this weekend.

      There is no way this trail is anything but a blue, on the worst of days.
