Intermediate 50% and advanced 50%, .68 mile MTB trail which is a bi-directional singletrack that is a total tech fest in the uphill direction from the Chapel. The trail consists of crossing a deep wash, climbing rock infested narrow single track, railing though off camber steep rock sections and ripping through a huge slickrock trail section. There is no preferred direction but east to west is definitely easier to clean if that is your goal. The trail serves as a good connector for several other loops.
