Summerville Access Trail

The west end of this trail starts from the Summerville Wash, and it heads east for 3 miles. The beginning is fast, going through the desert valley floor, dipping into ravines, and rolling over small desert hills. Then, it goes over slick rock, long flat slab sections, and ramped slick rock surfaces. There are orange or white paint markings and rock cairns to help follow the route. There are several intermediate rock ledge obstacles, such as blunt rock ledges over a foot tall, plus a steep hill climb with a rock ledge at the top. Next to giant boulders, the trail becomes sandy and easy on the east end. This trail starts at the staging area, so it's likely a popular route to start your ride.
