Description
This trail starts about 1/3rd of the way around the Mavericks Trail and goes east from there. It rolls along with a few short climbs before opening into some great views to the east and north. From here the grade is much easier and the singletrack drops through scrub oak and sage. You'll pass a small pond and the trail climbs to the north and a great view into the canyon. From here it returns straight west to the Mavericks Trail again.
