Trail Overview

This is a short connector trail from Grindstone Trail to Hillside Drive Road. It's only .6 miles, but still has some small rocks and roots. It's a narrow trail through the forest, with some boulders embedded on the side of the trail. It's a steady downhill from Grindstone to the road on an easy grade, only losing a couple hundred feet, so it's mostly flat. It's a good way to connect from the Mancos riding area over to the Rico trails. It will likely be ridden in connection with the many other trails in the area but does not loop back around to Mancos, so will be ridden as an out-and-back, or on a point-to-point route.
