Start from the trailhead at the south side of the parking lot and follow the
trail for a little over a mile (1.14 miles on my GPS). Take a left at the fork
where Tablezon Canyon Trail (05629) starts. Go another .75 miles to the
end of the trail. From here you can turn around and head back to the
parking lot or take either Gear Grinder (05630) or Pinoyon Trail (05607).
There is another path that heads east from the end of the trail but it is not
on any map.

For the most part, the trail follows a dry creek bed and is relatively wide with multiple lines up and down the technical areas. There is a steep technical section about 300 ft. from the trailhead and if you aren't skilled enough to climb it, don't worry. Most of the trail isn't this technical.
There are great natural berms along most of the flowing singletrack sections of the trail and make for great downhill rides. This is a good warm up for the rest of the trail system that this trail connects to.
