The best access to this area is from Skyline Drive just south of Iron Springs Road. Also via the Clown Town Trail and Santa Fe Trail.

Need to Know

None of the trails in this area are signed, so a map, GPS track, or the MTB Project mobile app could be helpful. The trail is not shown on the Prescott Trails map as of 2022.

Description

Going clockwise, the trail begins from the Clown Town Trail just west of the Skyline Drive parking area. The first third of the loop has the most slight obstacles and steep up-slopes. The trail merges briefly with the Clown Town Trail before continuing straight when the Clown Town Trail turns to the right. The remainder of the loop fairly smooth and occasionally twisty.

This is a nice loop that can be run multiple times in either direction without ever being far from the parking area. This is nice forested area for summer riding.
