This trail starts out as a fourhweeler trail when you are traveling from west to east. About midway through the trail their are ton of rock of to the side of the trail. I’ve hit my pedal many time, so be warned. The rest is fairly straight forward. Not really any features like jumps or berms.

Access Info

Head the Main Canyon road, turn left onto New Canyon about 300-400 feet. Trail head on the left.

Double track to single track that’s overgrown. Not worth the effort.

This trail is overgrown due to lack of use. be careful because the tall grass and rocks make for a more difficult ride.
