      Upper, Lower Graveyard and Cholla is an awesome beginner trail or a great warm up prior to riding Barrel Roll Trails. The trail is great in either direction. For those that would like a little more technical section I'd suggest riding Tempi-po-op Trail as an out and back.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
