They are building a new housing development in Northpoint in Vistancia. Trail dead ends right into a cactus nursery. I did not see a way around it.

Completely blocked main trail, whole road is essentially a construction site with multiple blocks and limited access, you can access some of the trails this one leads to but very limited

Came off of Highway 74. Trail was in good shape but was blocked by construction. This is the short side of the trail but a nice easy ride

Construction has poorly graded large portions of the trail. Some portions are off track on the trail due to new roads being added and the new addition aren’t on the map yet. It seems housing development might eliminate most the trails in this area in the future.
