Whirlwind West is the better of the two Whirlwind routes to come back up from 7-UP trail. Whirlwind West rides along an upper rocky rim with great singletrack riding and features, while Whirlwind East goes down thru the basin and around on more open slickrock.

 From either side of Mustang, a great ride. Flowy with small tech. You will be going downhill from mustang so plan on riding back up after or connect to the other trails. Intermediate is about right. Maybe even closer to beginner with spots of intermediate.
