Definitely a fun trail, very loose gravel for about 75% of it so downhill gets a little dicey when using brakes. This trail has dry brush on either side so it gets a little overgrown in some areas but is relatively clear throughout.

This trail is unsanctioned.

Disclaimer

Loose gravel may cause you to lose traction so proceed with caution.
