Description

This trail starts at the Lajitas Airport trailhead and is usually done east to west to take advantage of the great yet gradual downhill grade in that direction. Make sure to stop and admire the view at Big Air Hill and then get ready for a smooth, fun, and rolling trail back to the trailhead.
