Trail Overview
This scenic double-track route is all about the atmosphere, offering wide-open vistas of the distant desert floor as you cruise along the ridgeline. The highlight of the ride is passing by a series of mysterious concrete structures--remnants of old mining operations or forgotten desert infrastructure--that make for a great photo op. The trail itself is wide and inviting, allowing you to split your focus between the path and the expansive views. It's a rhythmic, high-visibility ride that captures the industrial history of the high desert.
