Round Mountain

Trail Overview

It seems more like a connector trail than the main trail, but it's still fun all by itself and connects to a more diverse network of trails in the area. The trail is steep hilly, sandy, and off-camber but tons of fun with good rhythm sections. Three bars LTE cell service fades in and out. Juniper Flats 01,272 acres of mixed public and private lands.
