Description

Descending this cut from west to east is preferable to those that like to take a break from pedaling.

The trail winds around down over small steps through a section of Joshua Tree "forest". To me this is one of the most fun sections at Twilight Trails

This section is really fun! Wear shin guards to protect your legs from the shrubs and yuccas.
