Ride in RainYes
Usually done as an out and back but can be looped with Pipeline road to town, Pajarito ski area, or Guaje Ridge Trail. Very steep climb on volcanic tuff rock, a lot like riding slick rock. Descent is fast and fun, like a roller coaster ride.
Access Info
West on Trinity Drive for 0.6 miles past Diamond Drive. Turn left twice and follow Quemazon Trail road to a small parking area at the trailhead.
