Fun, loose fast descent to edge of Mesa. Few drops. Tip of finger is a great place to chill. The pedal out not terribly fun. Continually rocky, slowish climb. Lots of work. Some exposure. When you have time it is a good added loop. Worth riding it at least once.

Grand sight seeing loop with some thrashin' double black DH's thrown in for good measure!

If ridden as shown, the first half is ok, but the return is more reminiscent of a game trail. Seems like this loop is being abandoned. I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years it had grown over.

The downhill section fun and moderate. The back uphill to start - terrible - as the ‘trail’ is barely existent in places
