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.

I would call this a walking trail that allows bikes - I wont be back. A few short steap sections and a fair amount of pavement. Looks like a good oppurtunity to build out more in this area if you are local and want to work with the land managers. Good views of the valley and nice houses to see. Dec 6, 2015

This is the typical quality of the trail in the spring. The 2 muddy spots were at a similar grade/width as this so they're easy to navigate.
