Description
This trail makes for a nice, leisurely grind through the desert. There are lots of rocks and bumps and several sections I had to watch my step on. It's a lot of fun, though. I have never seen another hiker on this track. Park entrance fee is $6, at a self-pay station on the way in. There is also a connector trail to get to the main park from here. Be aware that this trail is shared with mountain bikers, who may be traveling at high speeds. Please stay alert while on the trail to ensure your safety and the safety of others.
