This is the connector that takes you to the north east from the Toroweap Campground area and the north rim of the Grand Canyon. The trail starts off very smooth very nicely maintained a few rough cattleguards but aside from that very nice until you reach mile 30 and that’s when the washboards starts to kick in. You start going through some flash flood zones. So just be cautious on your speed. The last 5 miles Are rough washboard so make sure you’re holding on tight cause it’ll be a bumpy ride for those last 5 miles until you reach the highway
