Overview

Begin or park anywhere along the Temple Mountain Road. Riding clockwise is best. After rounding the mountain on the back side, you enter a nice narrow canyon through the reef.

Description

Two track Jeep roads that travel around the mountain with good elevation gain and a nice descent on the back side. Riding through the reef is a special experience.

History & Background

Mining history is worth reading about before the trip.
