This trail starts just to the south of mnt lakeway. Its was named by the community as 'Taco Bell' because the local community logo is a bell symbol which looks a lot like the Taco Bell logo Smile . Going north to south the trail is a gradual and vigorous climb with a series of 10 to 12 switch backs leading to the top. Going south to north, its a fun switch back decent. It has great tree cover and stays shaded in the hot months, which makes it nice for daylight rides/hikes. You will often see the local NICA kids practicing on their mountain bikes on this trail between Dec and May.
