Description

This trail starts out from either Delbert's Trail or the Powerline Trail.

Coming from Delbert's Trail you start out contouring with some short ups and downs and a few rocky spots. Then the trail makes a sharper descent, depositing you at the head of a canyon. Smooth singletrack takes you down the canyon until you hook up with the end of the Powerline Trail (5524B).

There are no signs in this area so it is hard to know when you make the transition from one to the other.

Upper part of this trail is harder than lower part. Probably not for the beginning intermediate rider. 2.7mi
