Description

This trail is fun alternative to spice up your Desert Classic ride - use it to add a loop to your out-and-back from either end of Desert Classic. It can be ridden either direction, although it is easier from west to east as you are making a gradual overall descent. The wash crossings on this trail tend to be the quick in-and-out type where it's easier to maintain your momentum.

This trail is most fun riding west to east. Pretty easy ride with fun dips through washes. You spend a lot more time climbing going the other way. 4.8mi
