“A flat, sandy trail that descends gradually to Mobius Arch Trailhead. Skinny tired bikes might prefer Movie Flat Road. ”

Description

This trail crosses the doubletrack section of the Upper Alabama Hills Trail shortly before it ends on Movie Flat Road. It provides a singletrack option to head south on, although the amount of sand makes it less than the ideal route. Great for fat bikes, and doable for mountain bikes with low psi tubeless setups, but probably best avoided for anyone else.
