Description

As you start on this trail you'll head back into a ravine until you finally come to a point where you ride along the sloping side of a mesa. The trail begins to rise and fall, over and over again, and you'll be smiling the whole way.

If you ride this the right way, you'll have a permanent grin, hence the name Perma Grin trail but obviously we're headed wrong way!
