Beginner 10%, intermediate 70% and advanced 20%, 3.4 mile MTB trail which is a bi-directional singletrack that is twisty has buffed section and is up and down with several technical sections riders will enjoy. The trail tread is a mixed bag of packed dirt, rocky surfaces and sections of slickrock that is fun to ride by higher skilled riders. There is no preferred direction and the trail is a great connector for several other fun loops.
