Anyways, its a good ride and rarely fails to get my adrenaline going when im dodging cacti spines on a sometimes rocky singletrack. I give it 3 tires since I've never been on any other trails. This trail, taken from either direction, is a crash course in desert terrain. Keep an eye out for the joggers and horses along the jeep trails surrounding the mountain. All things considered it is a nice training area.
Snakes are around so keep an eye out, they are abundant.
It's not the most challenging ride, but a good way to blow off pent up riding energy. The main route runs along the base of the mountain, clockwise for advanced riders, counter for beginners. The main trail is around 3.5 miles, but you can make this into 10 if you add some of the fun little trails that branch off it - try them all out, everyone will test your skill. The trail is mostly hardpack, with large rocks strewn all over, a couple very technical sections, and a few deep sand stretches. A few chances for some speed, but watch out for the cacti on the singletrack.
