Description

Second Thoughts runs along the outer edge of the canyons and connects to both the lower and upper parts of Twist-N-Shout. The views through the junipers and occasional pine trees are very scenic. Watch for a few sandy spots and a big rock you'll need to cross over. Either of these may require a brief dismount.
