Trail Overview
This versatile link acts as a primary exit route that feeds into a spiderweb of both wide double-track and narrow single-track sections. The path drops you into several undulating washes where water-carved ruts provide a natural technical challenge, while the local flora has begun to reclaim the trail edges, creating a "tunnel" effect in some of the tighter spots. It's an excellent choice for riders who enjoy a bit of variety in their terrain without committing to a massive climb.

Difficulty
The difficulty is minimal, though the unpredictable soft sand remains the main factor to manage. Keep your weight back and your front wheel light to navigate the silty patches safely.
