Singletrack, open to dirtbikes. Some sandy bits, some rocky bits. Rideable in both directions, however there may be some short uphill sections that are too steep to peddle a mountain bike. If you ride this west to east, you will encounter the steepest section going downhill instead of up, which is better.
