Rustler’s Loop is a fantastic ride for all skill levels. Intended to be rideable for beginners there are several technique-education signs along the route. But don’t be dissuaded if you feel your skills might be wasted on an “easy” ride. The trail provides several more-advanced riding options, including at least one obstacle endeared “Sternum Hill”. The single track on the north end is particularly fast and flowy, hard-packed and bermed sand. Suggested riding clockwise direction via trail organization.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.
