Description: There are easy trails by the starting point but they are not the main trail. It climbs the mountain side and heads south along the range. Jumping Cholla is a common plant here and the terrain is very sharp rock, padding suggested. No shade. The main loop is 13 miles but it has upper and lower parallel trails, the upper usually being more tech.
New trails are being built so the mileage and routes will increase.

The main trailhead off Arica Road at Exit 200 on I-10 is a great access point. Some trails are still not finished (as of April 2012) esp. on East Butte. Watch for rattlesnakes. Did a 10 mile loop on the Ridge Trail which is very nice and most of it is newly constructed. No shade and no water at the trailhead but a great bike park.

This system has a new trail, the Ridge Trail which runs below the top ridge of the mountain on it's east side. There is also a new singletrack from the parking lot and new parking lot farther east down the dirt road paralleling I-8. The new trail is smoother and less tech than the older trails but climbs and descends many times in the loop giving it a fun flow.

Very well designed single track off the beaten path. Tight and twisty with a few moderately technical sections to keep it interesting. Beautiful low desert mountain range with lots of Cholla cactus that is uncomfortably close to the trail in many spots. I have personal experience with being impaled by clumps of the stuff including some being flung into my backside from the trail. Bring tweezers, pliers etc., and wear some protective gear if you have any. Use sealant or slime tubes. Lots of sharp rock in sections of the trail, I lost three tires there last year due to sidewall cuts. With that said it is really not that bad as long as you keep your speed in check. Stay right on the trail for a sweet loop ride along the hillsides.

Usually ride here once or twice a year. Great trail system typical of the area, mostly intermediate with a few more interesting spots. Lots of cactus, large and small. All very sharp.
