485

Trail Overview

This is a fun, rocky, moderate single track through the Red Spring Pass trail system. The locals' signs refer to it as the "Stage" Trail, as it is the closest trail to the staging area, starting on Sardina Canyon Road and connecting to the easy trail 486. From the west end, it crosses a rocky wash and winds through curvy mesquite trees, winding along the rolling low hills. The trail is very curvy, with frequent sharp turns through the trees. The surface is frequently covered in small baby head rocks, making it more physically demanding. There are notable moderate rock obstacles that are jagged rock ledges, sometimes during narrow and exposed segments of the trail. There are beautiful rocky outcroppings and cliffs in all directions, providing a really scenic riding experience. There are frequent trail markers as well, making it easy to follow the route. Expect short, rocky climbs that are loose and steep, and similar descents.
