Description

It is most often ridden from the Highline junction, after doing the Highline Climb, and then down to Verde Valley School Rd (north to south).
After leaving the Highline junction Transept traverses around the formation on a narrow shelf with exposure in some sections, great views! And then climbs up a steep sustained rocky section before the main downhill to the road. The descent down from the high point on the trail is intermediate/advanced and has some very fun sections, although it can be chunky!
Transept can also be climbed up from Verde Valley school road. If climbed it allows an alternate approach to the very popular Highline downhill. The climb is challenging but mostly rideable.
