Trail Overview

This is a great little segment that packs a lot of character into a short distance. It moves away from the flat desert floor and introduces a punchy uphill climb that requires a bit of focused throttle control and body positioning. The ground is littered with small, loose rocks that add a layer of texture to the ascent, making it a perfect spot to practice maintaining traction on an incline. It's a rewarding trail for those who enjoy a quick burst of engagement and a break from the standard high-speed flats.
