A popular trail for many uses. The lower part is an unsigned service road to the Springville water tanks; the official trail begins just above them.

For mountain biking, this is a good trail for shuttling downhill laps or just your average Sunday cross country ride. There are some fun banks and a few small rock drops.

Cleared encroaching brush up to near the start of the rock garden section. Trail should be much less overgrown for a year or two.

Trail is in decent shape. It is an advanced trail though, so expect some challenges along the way.

All dried out. Could use some trail work to clear some of the larger rocks that have rolled into the middle of the trail.
