Head down this trail and be prepared to test your sand handling skills. A left and then a right in the sand makes it interesting before finally you drop onto some singletrack. Pedal the last bit through the oaks before you hit Crescent Bluff Road.

Access Info

Access via Sandstone Ridge/Trial 22 Intersection heading South.

        Did this uphill to loop Trail 22, half is walk only due to sand, but it's short so not bad, probably still faster than looping the fire road.

        It's a surfing descent. So fun. The sand is thick and deep and really only meant to be descended. It will put a smile on your face.

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
