Newly signed trail connecting revamped trail heads at Volcano View and Ruth Eisenberg Trailheads

Description

Singletrack trail climbing from Unser Boulevard to Ruth Eisenberg Trailhead off of Atrisco Vista near Double Eagle Airport. While not signed before, it now has improved signage at the ends of trails as part of the revamp of the open space in the area. While not as speed happy as some of the crushed granite trails in the Sandia Foothills, it provides a great view of Albuquerque and the Rio Grande Valley.
