Description

This trail crosses paths with Switchbacks and Nascar trails. It appears to be a 2 way trail. The bottom of the trail is loose and rutted and a bit steep to manage riding up. This trail could be used as a quick route to get back down to the road Sitio Silva.

To the right is the start/end of Switchbacks. To the left is the start of Nascar (aka Drop Down Trail as indicated by signage).
