This is a fairly new cut trail (Fall 2016), and has smooth berms, and a fun fast section that rolls on the east side. Easy climb, and you have to pedal on the top as it goes up and down. Very smooth for every section but the tip, which has just a short little romp through some small rocks. Great way to connect over to and from Phosphate, way better than the Old Aqueduct trail.

      Always so fun but not sure why! Maybe it's the just-enough climb challenge.
