Runner Notes

This is a very runnable fire road with hard packed and graded surface. There are a few sandy spots and a few small hills, but it is overall fast traveling.

Description

This is an access roadway from the trailhead to the offshoot trails for Brown's Mountain, Cholla Mountain and Cone Mountain.
