Trail Overview
This fun little sand loop section is a treat for those who enjoy higher-speed desert riding and the unique sensation of floating over soft terrain. You have to access it via the Manzanita Trail, which keeps it tucked away from the more casual crowds and provides a more secluded feel. There is a distinct lack of fencing or signage in this specific area, so staying oriented is vital to avoid drifting off track. It is a fantastic spot to let the engine breathe and enjoy a great mix of open flow and natural desert textures.

The difficulty is minimal, offering a relaxing and playful experience for most riders. You just need to keep an eye out for larger dirt bumps and deep sand ruts that can form during high-traffic weekends. As long as you maintain your momentum through the softer patches, it is a straightforward and enjoyable loop.
