This is a short, challenging trail that doesn't see a lot of traffic. It starts rather mellow and then gets steep and choppy - bordering on BLACK DIAMOND rating - just before it smooths out and intersects with Escondido Ravine Road. It can be ridden in either direction and is not identified by any trail markers or signs.
