Need to Know

Definitely ride this one north-to-south to keep the flow going and enjoy the steeper downhill sections.

Description

In an area of mostly sandy/flowy ledges and washes, it's great to encounter a trail with a bit of tech involved, and this has it, but it's been very well incorporated throughout—just keep spinning and trust that every feature will be rideable for your average intermediately skilled rider. It's not long but it's certainly quite fun!

This trail is part of the Western Gateway Trails expansion project.

Soft edge, otherwise would be a 5-star trail. A little trail work will make this a classic
