Intermediate 80 % and advanced 20%, 1/2 mile MTB trail which is a bi-directional singletrack, that is routed along and across Dry Creek Wash three times. The trail tread is mostly routed on sand where it is close to the wash and on packed dirt with rocks on the section out of the wash that climbs to Girdner. There is no preferred direction and this trail is a great connector between Girdner and AZ Cypress, to avoid the very challenging climb up Girdner.
