Trail Overview
Just like the adjacent Juniper Spring trail, this one has the rocks, steep wash crossings, off-camber shelf roads, and paint damage to match. There are many obstacles on this trail as it is not a beginner/easy ride. As they both access the well-traveled Williamson Valley Road, they might as well be twins. Expect tight turns with juniper trees as well as some ponderosa pines at the top of the hills. You might also find deer and javelina in these hills. There is a dirt-bike trail that criss-crosses this trail as well. There is no cell service in the area, so offline maps are recommended.

Difficulty
This trail is uneven and unmaintained and has many obstacles. This trail might prove hazardous after a rain or snow event as there are many wash crossings with steep entrances and exits and off-camber sections.
