      North slope is the better downhill, at least if you want a bit more speed without having to pedal. The south slope is more desert-like, with more dust and rocks, with a few faster sections, but overall a more mellow grade. Some hero dirt on the north slope right now!

      I cannot wait to ride this trail. My house is about 150 yards from the Toe of the Hill trail and this should be a great connector to Quigley

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
