Beautifully varied technical riding in the high desert amongst juniper trees and sage brush. The steep winding switchbacks and multi colored quartzite offer up a challenge that is stunning and thoughtful provoking.

If you seek a flow trail then drive to Ely and check out Ward Mountain. If you enjoy rough, rocky steps connected by ribbons of sticky dirt, look no further.
