Beginner 10%, intermediate 70% and advanced 20%, twisty with numerous up and down sections of trail that cross a number of dry washes. The trail tread is mostly packed dirt mixed with rocks. There are also several sections of slickrock that are fun to ride and allow you to pick your own line. The recommended direction is north bound. The trail is a great connector for several other fun loops.
