Trail Overview

Limekiln Peak is the most scenic of the trails in the Limekiln area. From the east end, this singletrack starts climbing up the mesa on an easy trail and comes up to a pinch between two small boulders that you can either ride between or pop over the 1-foot tall boulder. There are more trees on the mesa than in the valleys below, and you ride past small pinyon pine. The trail also gets more interesting with flat embedded rock layers across the surface. It traverses across the side of the mesa, with some flat boulders in the trail. It rides right along the edge of the mesa, overlooking some scenic cliffs in front of you, and to the valley a couple hundred feet below you. This trail ends on the Pura Vida trail.

Difficulty

This is an easy single track that has one easy rock feature, and a little bit of climbing, but should be easy for most average riders.
