Description

From the bottom, start in open forest with small spindly trees that are fun to navigate. It gets a bit steeper at the top and ascends Ant Hill. There are a few g-outs and wash crossings. Smoother than most in the area.

Note the south end of the trail is unsigned, and just dives off the sidewalk near a culvert.

Descending from the high point on Grand Central Trail

The upper section of Grand Central is mellow - a good way to pedal up to access Adobe Jack or Javelina.

The upper part of Adobe Jack is fast and fun through a pinion forest.

From North to South, a winding climb up the top of the Mesa around any loop. At the Mesa, it's a fun ride down with some drops, narrow tree lines. 1.9mi
