      A good trail besides too much sand. Lives up to its name😝. Careful the soft sand doesn’t pull you down. Up End of it is Rock Garden which is better. Good warm uo trails.
      maxzeyyy
      decent trail best to ride in the cool seasons as there is not much shade.

      Less trees and more sand than some of the other trails.
