Trail Overview
This is a short connector trail used to connect the Ridge Trail to the Pants Loop. Although only 3 miles long, it runs through a variety of terrain, including a mix of soft dirt, sandier dirt, and hard-packed dirt with loose rock. It dips in and out of rocky ravines and washes and also runs elevated above a wash. The trail is easy because it's mostly fast and flowy, smooth, and with no significant obstacles. The northeast end of the trail is marked with a cairn at the intersection with the Pants Connector Trail
