Mountain Bike

The trail starts off with sandy single-track then starts a gradual ascent up the side of Fraesfield mountain. The trail then sharply increases (total of 800' elevation gain) and becomes fairly rocky. The trail then crests and starts a downhill with tight curves in places and a lot of yucca and cholla. The trail crosses a couple of established trails with signs, and finishes at the Power Line #2 trail. It is a fun ride, but does require that you be in decent enough shape to climb.

Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
