For a trail that isn't very long it offers a bit of variety. Beginning with rough and rocky switchbacks it crosses a road into an open meadow with some flowy corners before hitting the open rocky area it is named for. It is worth checking this spot out as there are about 10 possible ways to ride down the "slick rock" including some very steep rolls into the gully at the bottom.
