Intermediate 80% and advanced 20%, 1/2 mile MTB trail which is a bi-directional singletrack that has a small uphill component with one rocky technical section after crossing a dry wash. The trail tread is mostly packed dirt mixed with loose rock. There is no preferred direction, but the trail rides fastest in the north to south direction. The trail can serve as a connector for several not so popular loops.
