This trail is accessed through the west gate entrance of the parking lot. The trail heads west along the highway for roughly 3/4 of a mile and then will circle back on varied terrain and turns back east toward the parking lot. There is little elevation gain or lose on this flat trail that stays near the top of the trail network system.

There are several trails that drop down from this and head down the ridges and canyons, so this trail serves as access to those trails, or it can be ridden as a nice easy loop. This is a great trail for anyone looking to experience a nice easy loop.

 great loop with good flow. If you wanted to spin your legs doing this loop alone a few times is a fun bit.
