Description

A difficult trail, but worth every hard breath. Ride east to west for a lung busting climb, or west to east for some technical descent.

This trail connects Starr Pass Trail to Robles or loops back to 36th Street Trail.

Typical trail
Dec 23, 2017 near Tucson…, AZ
Take a right at this beatifully landscaped intersection to stay on the Explorer Trail, go left to challenge yourself on the Cat Mountain Trail, which is probably the most technically challenging climb/descent combo in the Tucsons. Photo is looking north.

Taking a break just about at the halfway point.  I went east to west first, then did the return east.

This is a trail for an expert trials rider with literally dozens of rock step obstacles of 12-18 inch square blocks. Park somewhere else. Don't bother
