Trail Overview

This trail within the Red Spring Pass trail system is full of small loose rocks, steep climbs, and short rock ledges that make it more physically demanding to handle the bike through all the rocks for 2.6 miles. From the north entrance at the intersection with 483, the trail starts climbing up the next hillside, on a surface covered in baby head-sized rocks that ping you around. The trail winds around the hilltop between the mesquite trees and ocotillo, with views out over the rolling hills. The trail turns south after the intersection with 484A, a short spur that takes you over to 486. It gradually rides on the ridgeline of these rolling hills, riding over many embedded boulders that are moderate obstacles. Some of the obstacles occur in narrower sections of the side-hilling trail, making them more difficult. They are not overly difficult as the terrain remains mostly flat or very gradual, but the relentless rocks are tiring. The trail rides past some fantastic scenery, overlooking rocky outcroppings and Sardina Peak to the south. Some of the barrel cacti may be blooming in the winter and spring. There are some faint sections of trail where the grass is overgrown, hiding the embedded rocks beneath the grass, which adds to the difficulty. Overall, this trail is just very chunky and bony.
