New Heart Trail was a collaboration between Coconino National Forest and Flagstaff Biking Organization. Flagstaff Biking Organization raised funds and pursued grants to hire ACE (American Conservation Experience) who constructed this outstanding trail in 2020

New Heart Trail is a fun and challenging trail that keeps you on your toes. Although the trail is well constructed, there are sections with a fair bit of exposure and loose rocks on the trail are common. This area of Mount Elden feels remote and gets far less traffic than the west side trails. Views looking east from the trail are phenomenal. A few stands of small aspens make this trail great for fall colors. For those looking for a real challenge, the trail is climbable as well, but it is long and sustained, most people prefer as a downhill.

Sections of the old Heart trail are still in use but are not recommended for bikes.
