Description

This trail makes for a nice, leisurely grind through the desert. There are lots of rocks and bumps and several objects I had to carry the bike over. It's a lot of fun, though.

I have never seen another rider on this track. Park entrance fee is $6, at a self-pay station on the way in. There is also a connector trail to get to the main park from here.

4 miles in. Hit some sandy areas that slow you down but the rewarding technical parts starts soon.

Flat sandy and rocky segments and a few steep drops and climbs. Technical at times. Behind ISM Raceway but quickly feels remote. Didn't see a soul. 9.7mi

This has got to be the worst example of a competitive track in the entire Maricopa County system. In short, it’s a bridle path plain and simple.
