Located in the north valley in most beautiful Sonoran desert you can find, this singletrack area is for riders of all experience levels. Most of the riding is fast rolling terrain (sometimes even too many up and down dips :-)) with occasional short steep climbs; no long downhill or uphill portions here.

There are no markers (only a few trail numbers) so use the power-lines to keep direction and guide you out and back to your car. On the way out you will experience gradual uphill, with way back being quite fast.
