This trail features easy riding on fast open trails next to wilderness canyons and is a "connector trail" between the Long Canyon Trail and the Boynton Canyon Trail. This trail has a little bit of everything in the way of riding terrain - dirt road at the start, wide dirt trail along Long Canyon Trail and finally single track riding (some over rocks) on the Deadmans Pass trail.
