Description

Technically, this wide, dirt trail is pure green beginner. But, add in the climbing, along with the out-of-shape beginner mountain biker, and you get a little bit of intermediate due to some actual hard work. If you're just starting out, this is a good trail to work up to something harder. However, be respectful of the hikers and the horses, they are the main paying customers here.

For those just passing through, the Backbone Trail - Will Rogers to Temescal Ridge starts at the top of this loop.
