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.

      		 Lots of ruts, holes and rocks . Completely rideable but if you’re looking for a smooth maintained trail then look elsewhere.

      		 Trail is 80-90% unridable. Major ruts up to two feet deep taking up most of the trail. With the amount of people riding here there os clearly zero...

      		 Major ruts in top and middle sections. Doesn't seem like the trail is being maintained..
