Amazing views and plenty of petrified dunes. Heading clockwise there are several flowy sections on top of packed dirt, sometimes loose rubble or sand. The trail goes right out to the edge of the mesa and provides amazing viewpoints, and can even be a bit scary for some to ride so close to the edge.
