Description

Though this trail lacks the stellar overlooks of other trails, it has cool rock formations such as ledges and caves that you can ride around. There are a couple of short sandy sections, but otherwise this is a great ride.

Prickly Pair trail: Took the longer (a.k.a more advanced loop) and did fine..;) Was the last trail of the day so I was a little tired but not whipped. — 0h 22m

Fantastic! This is the most difficult part of the Dead Horse Loop, so if you are with a new rider, do this section before fatigue sets in! Fantastic!
