Mountain Bike
The ride East down Meridian trail is a one mile intermediate to beginner ride. However if you can stay on the pedals through the several dry wash crossings you are definitely not a beginner. If you are a beginner, walk the bike. After passing various trail signs you will come to one for the Blevins trail. Turn right and enjoy more dry wash challenges and beautiful views. After a mile you'll come to the main parking area with portable toilets and water. The trail continues just across the parking lot to the West. There are several opportunities to get some minor air at the start of this trail. When the trail turns South you can get a really fast ride downhill before the trail turns East. Then look forward to a lot more dry wash crossings before meeting back up with Meridian trail and riding East back to where you started. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
