Trail Overview

This great narrow connector trail twists and turns and bobs and dives through the hills, as it climbs one side of the saddle and then back down the other. The northern section of the saddle is relatively steep, with some loose sections, a few ruts, and some rainwater runoff mounds. This trail is a blast on a moto as you quickly get into a rhythm. The views from the trail are outstanding, and the shelf road has a pretty steep drop-off. This is not a good place to take a spill or not pay close attention to the trail, as boulders roll down from the hill above. There is even a lookout tower near the summit for those willing to get out and go for a hike. There is no Verizon cell service on the south side, with two bars of LTE on the north side.
