Description

Cholla Loop is a rocky, steep loop located in Thunderbird Conservation Park. Certain sections are not for the faint of heart. I ride (and partially hike) this trail while training for back country snowboarding. I really enjoy the trail, but only do it every once in a while due to its difficulty.

Unrideable. Rain and erosion have destroyed this trail. Without serious maintenance it is only for hikers looking to turn an ankle.
