Ride in RainYes
A great technical trail with excellent desert back-country feel. You are not likely to see other riders so be sure to have plenty of water and all the essentials to fix mechanicals. For a great challenging loop come back down.
The trail was built to get runners and hikers out of the washes. The climb is technical and requires extreme endurance.
