New cut trail that starts out at the Red Ledges development. This section has lots of switch backs but is pretty smooth and is a nice climb

 Last night's rain was well absorbed by the soil. Great conditions right now. Both top and bottom sections in good shape. Perhaps the rain washed...

 Top section is good but bottom section still pretty rutted up from horse and bike trails thru winter months.

 Pretty much whole trail is dry. One or two very minor damp patches. Quite a lot of ruts from mtb and fat bikes thru the winter and bottom section,...

      Park at equestrian area, go uphill through the gate, turn right on asphalt path, turn left soon on stone road uphill which turns into several congruent nasty rocky single tracks for maybe 1/4 mile until top of the hill. No horse tracks today.
      From there you're finally on the trail.

      Constant intermediate grunting up with many switchbacks and short rock gardens especially near the end. Not smooth.

      Not awful but not worth a trip.
      Better off riding Coyote are via Chopp'd .

      The bottom 2 miles are in worse and worse shape every year from Red Ledges horses.

      You can now get a good end to end experience by breaking off to the right at first dirt and following tracks up the hill to the East of the trailhead, which will let you avoid the big straight gravel uphill behind the homes. You follow that til you reach the trail shown here and you'll be magically past all the worst meandering shared horse trail, and with better terrain. Whoever runs the trail program should make this official and it will get some more needed MTB traffic on this worthy trail.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
