Description: Recommend taking this trail clockwise but either way you'll get a cardiovascular workout. The trail is mostly singletrack but there is a mix of doubletrack and fireroads. Trail is shared with horse and hikers but I've never seen anyone out there the three times I've ridden it. There is evidence of horse of course and it adds to the cardio. The uphills are technical and tiring and the downhills are technical due to the rocks but very ridable. Not recommended for beginners at all though. It might just turn them off to riding. There are a network of trails if you don't want to spend hours riding the outer loops you can always bail on a shortcut to the trailhead. Lots of creek crossings. The water feels so good on a hot summer day. Great place to stop and cool off for a bit.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by oldskool_XC on September 5, 2011
Just rode this trail yesterday. It is a fun network, but highly overgrown. Anybody else out there riding this trail? Would be willing to organize some trail maintenance if anyone is interested.

Although I think I am the only person to be on this trail in a long time, the evidence of horses having been on the trail is all over the place. Ground up trail in muddy areas which makes for hard riding. Lots of sandy areas and good hard rides up. Be prepared to spend some time out here if you plan on riding the entire network. There are some great spots to stop and catch your breath and recover. The downhill sections are technical due to the rock gardens. There is probably over 20 miles of trail out here.
