Description

From Hog Heaven, Hog Wash heads down through fairly smooth and vegetated singletrack. A section of switchbacks breaks up the flow halfway to Peccary Trail . Past the Peccary Trail, Hog Wash transitions to following the contour of a rock feature reminiscent of Mescal Mtn Trail, providing some cool views and the occasional more technical off-camber section.

Eventually the trail meets up with the Broken Arrow Trail, where riders will head left to get to the Morgan Road trailhead or head right to continue the ride.

Lots of fun little ledge riding and some less fun uphill sections but it made for an exciting date night ride with the hubby.
