Description

Eagle's Tail is the first right turn heading south on Tabeguache Trail. It is winding and technical in nature; typical of the Lunch Loops trail network.

It is typically ridden as the finish to Andy's Trail or Eagle's Wing. It is also a decent climb using Eagle's Wing and High Noon, or Eagles Connector to access Holy Cross, Lemon Squeezer, and Pucker Up downhill trails.

Climbing Eagle's Wing beyond Eagles Connector is not advisable, as it is more hike than bike and downhill riders will not be expecting riders to climb the trail.
