Description

This is an awesome singletrack trail from the Cholla Mountain Loop Trail to the Powerline Road Trail. This is a well used Mountain Bike trail, so leave the earbuds out for this section.

Watershed winds left and right, lumps and bumps up and down a little, but overall it might as well be a super highway.
