This shouldn't even be on this app. It is a great "Hiking Trail" in a beautiful area with some nice views but definitely not much of a mtb trail

Alternate Rte: start @ end of Mtn Laurel Ln, closer to Shannon Rd. When coming down, take Santa Rosa Dr East to the trailhead to complete the loop 8mi

There is an off map trail here that runs down from the vista to the neighborhood below. It's full of groomed berms, small kickers, and amazing dirt.
