The bottom section of Skull was recently reclaimed, the trail is now shorter.
If riding from town, the grind up 110 to the
Little Rainbow trailhead can be monotonous. Ride into the new parking lot along CR 110, on the west side. Access the
Spartan Connector on the south end of the parking lot. Turn left where it meets
Spartan West. Cross CR110 and start
Spartan East. After the first arroyo turn right, up Skull. It's a steady climb but not overly steep or technical. Watch for loose rocks and sandy corners. Once you hit
Little Rainbow, you can turn right to go a short distance to the CR110 trailhead and further up to
Double Rainbow, or
Spartan West. Otherwise, turn left and take
Little Rainbow over to
Lost,
Dead Bird, or
Race Track.
Give Skull a try downhill too. You can see for a long ways and can really open it up, until you get to
Spartan East.
Be careful of loose rocks in the corners.
