Last Known Status | Open |
This part of the Coconino National Forest offers about 20 miles of nicely maintained multiple use single track trails that form both short and long loops with gradual elevation changes and scenic mountain views. Most of the terrain is a nice mix of loose soil, narrow switchbacks and a few rocky sections.
The trails are open year-round but the best time to visit is around March through mid December. Please note that this trail system is also open to hikers, horseback riding and mountain bikes. Camping and campfires are not permitted.
