Description

There are rocky and steep sections, though it is all rideable. Be aware of two very tight switchbacks. It might be best to get off your bike and walk these if you doubt your skill.

They are rideable in both directions for expert bike handlers. The trail goes up and over to the Pipeline Trail. However, there is an interesting rock spiral and vista on the west end of the ridge.
