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.
