Mostly intermediate trail from the top of Cobal Canyon back to the rest area. Possibly the most challenging of the Marshal Canyon "official" trails. This is a fairly steep descent but nothing unmanageable. What makes this trail tricky is some rutting in the middle combined with a tight and steep switchback at the lower end.

      Towards the middle and end there is a blow out of ruts. Ride with caution.

      Massive ruts! Grand Canyon-esque!

      Huge rain ruts lead to a almost unridable condition. I was still able to manage but the trail is in very bad shape.

      Very dry and the ruts are bad and deep, wouldn’t recommend riding alone
