Description

There are several rocky ledges that might require dismounts, but otherwise this is an excellently-built trail with nice contours, rock plating where necessary, and great flow. Be sure to stop at the Pyramid Canyon Overlook.

It is mostly blue green, but there are a couple solid blue parts like the uphill s-curve. Need to pick the right line or you will have to dismount.
