A nice long XC trail that changes character throughout it's length. The highest quality section of trail is from the intersection with Sarasota to the intersection with Rock Wren. This section is smooth, flowy, and surrounded with beautiful scenery. The westernmost section of trail that climbs towards Golden Gate is a chunky/rocky uphill slog. The section of trail north of the 5 way intersection with Rock Wren and 5th avenue starts with rocky and difficult uphill, and then transitions to smoother trail that is punctuated by sandy washes.
